The 3rd graders have been learning a lot about the element of space. We've learned that it is the area we can create art in... it goes from side to side, top to bottom and from the front of the picture to the back of the picture (depth). We learned we can create depth by overlapping objects and also by using scale. We have now added one more thing to the element of space: Positive space and negative space. Positive space happens where objects have been added to a piece of artwork. Negative space is the empty space left over. In order to explore positive and negative space a little more, we created masks! The students had to be good direction followers and great listeners in order to get theirs to turn out right. Can you tell which spaces are positive and which spaces are negative?
