Postitive and Negative Fun in the Artroom

This week Intro. to Art students learned all about positive and negative space/shapes.  After defining vocabulary words and a warm up sketch they were ready to start the group project.

It was great to see the students enthusiasm!  Keep up the good work Intro Students!  More finished examples to follow.

I'm sure after this exercise you will all be ready for observational drawing next week!  Here is a sneak peek...
