6th Grade: Positive and Negative Space

Positive space is where our object exists. The negative space is the area surrounding it. In art we can create our image through both presence of positive space, or the absence of space. In other words if we cut the shape of a circle out of paper, there is now a circle missing. We still know that the image of a circle existed because of the absence of material. This is exactly what sixth grade explored for this project. We added another element to our positive and negative space, by adding designs called "zentangles" in our positive space. these geometric designs are similar to doodles, but involve a little more pattern, and geometric shapes/designs.
