4. Space
The area in which an artwork is organized. It covers the area within a work of art, and can include the area outside of and around a work of art.

5. 3 Components of space
Space is always part of an artwork, sometimes in multiple ways.
There are 3 main components when talking about Space:
Positive & Negative Space
Illusion of 3-Dimensional Space
Linear Perspective Drawing

6. Positive space
Positive Space is the area the object or subject actually occupies
Positive doesn’t mean “good”

7. Negative space
Negative Space is the area around the object or subject matter
Negative Space supports the foreground of the picture

13. S.e.e. -- Positive and negative space Reversal
Choose a tool
Divide a page of your sketchbook in half
Trace your object as many times as will fit on each side
On one half of your paper, color the POSITIVE SPACE
On the other half of your paper, color the NEGATIVE SPACE

14. BW 1/5/16
Write the Q & A
What is the difference between a Positive and Negative SHAPES and Positive and Negative SPACE?

Sketch Notan Design // Rough Draft

16. Notan 濃淡
Nōtan is a Japanese design concept involving the play and placement of light and dark as they are placed next to the other in art and imagery.

17. Expanding the square A traditional Notan starts out as a square
You then cut out Positive Shapes and lay them down as a mirrored, symmetrical image
The Negative and Positive Shapes AND Spaces are reversed

18. Using lines and shapes
This example uses line and shape (two elements of art)
It is also Symmetrical

19. Using shapes and lines This example also uses shape and line
This example uses Asymmetry

24. How to expand a square Rough Draft
Determine a THEME
Draw out the shapes and lines you will use in SKB first
Draw out your shapes and lines on the black square
Cut out black pieces (keep all pieces)
Arrange pieces on your paper
Glue pieces down
