Positive Space Switcheroo
This assignment as should stimulate the space between shapes, producing tension between them. This energy will draw attention to the negative and positive spaces. Create three different works, 1. Compression, 2. Positive Space switcheroo, 3. Directing the viewer’s Eye thru the piece
I selected a scene with outdoor organic and inorganic shapes. Seven different shapes to be used. I researched Compression and found a few videos on photography that headed me in the right direction. I used cut- paper make the shapes, manipulated the shapes, traced the shapes and painted them in with ink. While manipulating the shapes I looked for every opportunity focus on the negative spaces. Making sure that the ground sheet was activated on all sides and that the viewers movement through the work was complete. The same process was used in making 3. Directing the Viewer’s Eye also, adding color in the secondary shades of orange, violet and green.
