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.
