To determine which element of art is most evident in the drawing of these buildings, we need to examine the features of the drawing.
1. Color: Since the description mentions that the drawing is black and white, it indicates that color is not present or emphasized in this particular artwork. Therefore, we can eliminate color as a possible answer.
2. Space: The description mentions that the buildings are shown in the foreground and background, which suggests the concept of space. Space refers to the perception of depth and distance in an artwork. Based on this information, the element of space seems to be present in the drawing.
3. Shape: The description mentions buildings, which are typically represented by various shapes. Shape refers to the visually perceived area created by lines, colors, or textures. Given that the drawing portrays buildings, it is likely to include different shapes.
4. Perspective: The description includes a curved street and taller buildings in the background. This suggests that the artist has used perspective to create the illusion of depth and distance. Therefore, the element of perspective is also evident in the drawing.
Considering the information provided, both space and perspective elements seem to be present in the drawing.
