Grade 6: Space and Shape in Your Composition

During the first two weeks of October students reviewed The Element of Space in a work of art for their upcoming collage project.  We defined and examined positive and negative space and looked at a variety of 2-D examples. Additionally, we discussed The Principle of Balance in a work of art. Below are some of the notes from class.

Grade 6: Positive and Negative Space Exercise

Students were introduced to The Elements of Art and created high contrast drawings that demonstrated the use of positive and negative space that used line, shape and texture. These drawings were created with tag board paper and sharpie markers.
