Scale in art involves the size of an object in comparison to another. Therapeutically, discussing scale can offer insight into how a client views the magnitude of their problems compared to others or within the context of their life.

Volume refers to the perception of a three-dimensional form within a space. In therapy, creating or observing volume can help clients feel a sense of agency by manipulating their (artistic) environments.

Negative space is the unoccupied or background areas in artwork. In therapy, it can symbolize the things left unsaid or untouched, encouraging clients to explore unconscious thoughts and feelings.

Depth creates a three-dimensional feel in a two-dimensional space. In therapy, it can be used to discuss the depth of emotions or experiences, or to metaphorically 'dig deeper' into personal issues.

Overlap occurs when objects cover parts of others in art. It can represent the complexity of life experiences in therapy, where some aspects overshadow others, and can lead to discussions about what is hidden or prioritized.

Positive space in art therapy refers to the areas occupied by a subject. It helps clients focus on the tangible aspects of their life, promoting mindfulness and present-moment awareness.

Perspective involves creating an illusion of depth on a flat surface. In therapy, manipulating perspective can help clients see their problems or experiences from different angles, fostering insight and self-reflection.

Proportion refers to the relative size of elements in artwork. Therapeutically, it can reflect how a client perceives the importance or impact of different areas of their life, aiding in prioritization and balance.
