  • have two dimensions or three dimensions providing depth
  • includes the background, foreground and interstitial ground
  • two types of space: positive (enclosed) and negative (around the shape) (Fig 3.5)

  • defines the shape
  • advances or reduces the size of the object
  • describes position of the object in the garment
