Focusing on the Negative Space



Hi you guys. Ricardo and Patricia here to give you your weekly update of what goes on in our graphic design class. To start off the week, we constructed view finders to help us identify the negative spaces around positive shapes. We had to draw figures around us, cut them out to focus on the negatives areas to finally figure out, they are as important that the positive areas of a picture. Negative spaces help form silhouettes of a figure. For the next day, we stared at chairs through our view finders to again identify negative space until heads began to hurt. So today after picking random objects to draw only their negative spaces on illustrator, we concluded are week with another project with the objective to now balance the negative and positive space within a picture.
