When analyzing the positive and negative spaces, there is no obvious shape.

The correct statement is:

The positive and negative spaces are well-balanced and the shapes are obvious.

When mirror images of a bird are created, they create the illusion that there are two birds looking at each other. In this case, the positive and negative spaces are well-balanced, meaning that the areas occupied by the bird shapes (positive spaces) are complemented by the areas between them (negative spaces). The shapes themselves, i.e., the birds, are also obvious and recognizable.

To determine which of the statements is true, we need to understand the concept of positive and negative space in relation to the mirror image of a bird.

Positive space refers to the subject or objects in an image, while negative space refers to the space around and between the objects. In the case of a mirror image of a bird, the positive space would be the bird itself, and the negative space would be the space surrounding it.

Let's analyze each statement:

1. "The image would be difficult to draw because there is no negative space."
This statement is not true. Since the mirror image of the bird creates the illusion of two birds looking at each other, there will still be negative space between the two mirrored birds. Therefore, there is negative space to work with while drawing the image.

2. "The positive and negative spaces are well-balanced and the shapes are obvious."
This statement could be true. Since the mirror image of a bird creates the illusion of two birds, the positive and negative spaces could be well-balanced and the shapes of the birds could be obvious.

3. "The use of positive and negative space would create a confusing image."
This statement is not necessarily true. While the use of positive and negative space can sometimes create visual complexity, it does not automatically mean that the image would be confusing in the case of mirror images of birds. It would depend on the composition and arrangement of the mirrored birds.

4. "When analyzing the positive and negative spaces, there is no obvious shape."
This statement is likely not true. Mirror images of a bird would have obvious shapes both in the positive space (the birds) and the negative space (the space between and around the birds).

Based on this analysis, the most likely true statement is:
"The positive and negative spaces are well-balanced and the shapes are obvious."
