Seahorses - Positive & Negative Space

One of the first steps in teaching children to create interesting compositions is to discover how space is broken up through the use of positive and negative space.


. 



1st & 2nd grade looked at how artists use positive and negative space to divide a composition by cutting shapes out of bright colored paper. There were a lot of "ooo"'s and "ahhh"'s as these pieces came together!







Next, we will continue our look at pos. & neg. space by creating more detailed compositions.
