Positive and Negative Space

Positive space refers to areas filled with lines, color, objects or shapes, while negative space is the empty background areas. Negative space is important for accurate proportions and balanced composition. The students will create a notan collage by cutting and pasting shapes into a square to make a design that balances positive and negative space either symmetrically or asymmetrically using both organic and geometric shapes.
