1. Positive vs. Negative Space
Positive space- space in an artwork that is filled with something.
Negative Space- empty space in an artwork; a void

6. Positive and Negative Space Project:
Materials: 9”x12” white paper, watercolor, scrap paper, scissors
4 Thumbnail sketches of trees
Composition may be original or from life reference.
Must use a minimal of 2 watercolor techniques.
Amounts of negative space and positive space are balanced.
Must have a foreground, background, and middle ground
Intriguing composition, showing intense relationship between positive and negative shapes. (Entire 9x12 plane is used)
Highly crafted.
*Hint: overlapping and size shows different ‘grounds’, crop to make image more interesting.
