  2. Shape and form (visual arts) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_and_form_(visual_arts)

    A form is an artist's way of using elements of art, principles of design, and media. Form, as an element of art, is three-dimensional and encloses space. Like a shape, a form has length and width, but it also has depth. Forms are either geometric or free-form, and can be symmetrical or asymmetrical.

  3. Negative space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_space

    Negative space in art, also referred to as "air space", is the space around and between objects. Instead of focusing on drawing the actual object, for a negative space drawing, the focus is on what's between the objects. For example, if one is drawing a plant, they would draw the space in-between the leaves, not the actual leaves.

  4. Signed area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signed_area

    The mathematics of ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Greece had no explicit concept of negative numbers or signed areas, but had notions of shapes contained by some boundary lines or curves, whose areas could be computed or compared by pasting shapes together or cutting portions away, amounting to addition or subtraction of areas. [1]

  5. Elements of art - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elements_of_art

    Positive space refers to the areas of the work with a subject, while negative space is the space without a subject. [6] Open and closed space coincides with three-dimensional art, like sculptures, where open spaces are empty, and closed spaces contain physical sculptural elements.

  6. Orientation (vector space) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orientation_(vector_space)

    Note that the group GL(V) is not connected, but rather has two connected components according to whether the determinant of the transformation is positive or negative (except for GL 0, which is the trivial group and thus has a single connected component; this corresponds to the canonical orientation on a zero-dimensional vector space).

  7. Positive and negative parts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_and_negative_parts

    In mathematics, the positive part of a real or extended real-valued function is defined by the formula + = ((),) = {() > Intuitively, the graph of f + {\displaystyle f^{+}} is obtained by taking the graph of f {\displaystyle f} , chopping off the part under the x -axis, and letting f + {\displaystyle f^{+}} take the value zero there.

  8. Mathematics and art - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_and_art

    Mathematics and art are related in a variety of ways. Mathematics has itself been described as an art motivated by beauty. Mathematics can be discerned in arts such as music, dance, painting, architecture, sculpture, and textiles. This article focuses, however, on mathematics in the visual arts. Mathematics and art have a long historical ...

    For example: "All humans are mortal, and Socrates is a human. ∴ Socrates is mortal." ∵ Abbreviation of "because" or "since". Placed between two assertions, it means that the first one is implied by the second one. For example: "11 is prime ∵ it has no positive integer factors other than itself and one." ∋ 1. Abbreviation of "such that".
