In the glossary,
space is "the total area defined by the size of the artist's paper or canvas" (Schirrmacher & Fox, 2009, p. 368)
For my Guerilla art, I have decided to a mini appreciation post-it notes for my friend. To do so, I prepared a list of words that describes her and wrote it on small post-its. With it, I formed a shape of a rectangle on the wall, where it will be visible for her to see. At first, when she walked into the room, she didn't notice it because she wasn't look at that direction. It took a minute or two until she noticed it. She turned to me and smiled and gave me a hug! We both laughed about how it was so apparent and yet she didn't notice it. It was a fun process for me, to make and see the result of it!
The arrangement of this Guerilla art is associated with the element of space. Schirrmacher & Fox (2009) defines space as two types, positive and negative. Positive space is where it is occupied by shapes, forms, colour and lines (Schirrmacher & Fox, 2009). Negative space is the leftover of what is occupied, the blank spaces. In my art, the rectangle post-it notes is the positive space and the green wall is the negative space.
