When a person looks at an art work,
they see it in a different way.
First we look at what is in the background of an artwork.
Then we look at what is in the front of a painting.
The difference between the front and the background
is the depth.
Artists use depth to manipulate space in a painting.
It is a key element in art work.
It describes the distance
between different subjects in the art composition.
