3. Negative Space

4/3/2015

3 Comments

 
You need:
paper, Pencils, selection of household objects eg cup, spoon, bottle, lamp etc.

Description:
When we draw we always focus on the 'thing' we are drawing but it is equally important to consider the space around the objects too, after all, using space effectively makes good compositions!  In this task you will draw the areas around your objects and begin to 'see' in a different way.

Task:
Arrange your objects on a table in front of you.  It is good to overlap your objects.  Now draw the shapes between your objects.  You could add tone to the enhance the 'negative' effect.

it was an ok task. I didn't like how I had to use overlapping lines but I guess that is just the form of art that best suited that picture.
I found using the overlapping lines hard as sometimes I forgot that I was supposed to.
