In art we learned the difference between a positive and a negative shape. Positive space is the colored inside portion of a shape and negative space is the opposite, the colored outside portion of the shape. This year, we are making negative space marker designs. We started by drawing at least 5 shapes on our papers. The only rule is you can ONLY draw in the negative spaces. We are making all sorts of funky and cool designs around our shapes and the results are really amazing!
