week 3a signs and visual communication

Monochromatic colors are all the colors (tints, tones, and shades) of a single hue.

Negative space, in art, is the space around and between the subject(s) of an image. Negative space may be most evident when the space around a subject, not the subject itself, forms an interesting or artistically relevant shape, and such space occasionally is used to artistic effect as the "real" subject of an image.
