Reading: DCA pg 52-66

Spatial Relationships of the Art Elements:
Our senses are "capable of extending throughout the entire universe and touching it. Not seeing with one's hands but touching with one's eyes"- Octavio Paz.
 A unique way of thinking for me. For artists allow others to see and absorb a concept through an their work. "To see with our hands and touch with our eyes" allows us to see how important space is to artists which in the end helps me to see how space is important in my own work. Artists like M.C. Escher and Oscar Dominguez use the space concept to portray ideas as well.
Space can either add dimension or deplete it, but depending on the artists, space can actually tell a story.
Different space concepts: flat, shallow, illusionistic, actual, and ambiguous space.
