Project #5 Negative Shape Drawings

In drawings there are three basic elements of composition:  the frame (the edge of the pictorial space)  the positive the negative space The positive space is easiest to understand because we see it. Generally, it is the space occupied by your subject.  Conversely, negative space is the space that is not your subject and people often simply forget about.  Simply put,  Negative space  is the  space  that surrounds an object within an image.  It is just as important as that object itself -- air is important for most every living organisms, isn't it? N egative space  helps to define the boundaries of  positive space  and brings balance to a composition. The negative space is defined by the edges of the positive space and the frame or border (the third element).  Thus, part of our negative space is bound by the frame and another part is bounded by the positive space.  S...

Elements of Visual Design

The  elements  and  principles of design   are the foundational building blocks used to create a visual work.  The elements of design are the A, B, C's that are put together by any artist or  designer  to create an image or object.   The  grammar  of how these elements are used create the overall visual work.   Good or bad, all visual works will contain most of these elements, if not all, the nine elements of design.

Project #1: DRAWING is...

What is Drawing? According to Webster's dictionary, drawing is defined as “the art or technique of representing an object or outlining a figure, plan, or sketch by means of lines." This, of course, is usually the first thing many people think of when it comes to drawing, I was and still am one of them.  Yet, after really contemplating the word drawing and looking through various definitions, I’ve come to find that it's meaning isn’t art specific, it engulfs a lot of different positions.  Drawing isn’t just about the line one puts on paper, it’s about what you take from that line.  Minimalist artist Sol LeWitt once said, “When words such as painting and sculpture are used, they connote a whole tradition, thus placing limitations on the artist who could be reluctant to make art that goes beyond the limitations."       I think the same thing goes for the word drawing , drawing has always been seen as this one method used in th...
