Elements of Art: Space | KQED Arts

Space is always part of a work of art, sometimes in multiple ways. Follow along with the final installment of our Elements of Art series as we dive deep into the complex role that Space plays in the visual arts. Using site specific art as a starting point, we highlight the specifc techniques that artists use to control and manipulate Space in their work.

I have a degree in art and graphic design, but I am tackling the role of educator to a group of homeschool kids that want to learn about art. These videos are awesome with explaining the elements in a more visual approach. Thank you!

This series of videos is FANTASTIC! I have always given my High School and Middle School students the Crystal videos on the Elements and Principles and frankly they are boring and the kids cannot relate. The artwork used in these videos is modern, fun, and interesting to the students. There was a lot of "whoa's" and "how cool!" comments from my Middle Schoolers today. PLEASE make a series on the Principles of Design that match this set of videos!

The music is always chill in these videos.

Hi im in the sixth grade and my art teacher was giving me a test tomorrow on the elements of art and she gave us a paper with notes on it and i lost it and i had to make notes off of your very good videos and got all the notes i needed. Thank you so much because if you didnt make elements of art vids, i would have been short. Thank so much!!! :)

This was assigned to me for art by online school

As someone with next to no spatial awareness I tried to learn to draw for years only to learn I can't learn to draw thanks to not being able to see form and space people with good spatial awareness should be very thankful.

Can someone tell me where I can find the third photo of the three monochromatic portraits?? This whole picture is fantastic and sparked such rich conversation with my third and fourth graders.
