Positive+and+Negative+Space

Positive and Negative Spaces __Learning Intentions:__ Students will be able to identify the steps needed to produce a original visual image using black/white construction paper. Students will demonstrate an understanding, that all spaces within a work of art, have their own unique shapes.

__Materials:__ Black paper White paper Pencil

__Method:__ 1. Select one colour of construction paper A4 size (black). Using the A5 sheet of white paper draw half of an object (symmetrical shapes are best). 2. The parts are then cut from the half sheet and arranged on the fold forming half of the design. The remaining parts are placed on the opposite side of the full sheet in locations opposite those from which they are cut. 3. Glue the parts down. 4. The final project will have a positive image on one side of the full sheet and a negative image on the other. This project can be done with two colours instead.
