________ is a 2D object which lacks depth.

Correct Answer
shape

Explanation
A shape is a 2D object that lacks depth because it only exists on a flat plane and does not have any thickness or volume. Unlike a three-dimensional object, such as a cube or sphere, a shape only has two dimensions - length and width - and does not have a third dimension, which is depth. Therefore, a shape can be considered as a 2D object without any depth.

________ refers to the illusion of depth, the distance between objects and arrangement of images/objects.

Correct Answer
space

Explanation
Space refers to the illusion of depth, the distance between objects and arrangement of images/objects. In art and design, space is used to create a sense of perspective and depth, allowing the viewer to perceive the arrangement of objects and their relationship to one another. It can be manipulated to create a sense of depth, distance, and volume within a two-dimensional artwork. Space can be represented through techniques such as overlapping, size and scale, placement, and atmospheric perspective.
