positive and negative

What is Positive and Negative Space?

Simply put, positive space is best described as the areas in a work of art that are the subjects, or areas of interest. Negative space is area around the subjects, or areas of interest. 
( even simpler- where there is clay and where there is empty space) 

 Creating a BALANCE will ensure a good piece of artwork!!

For this project you will be designing a positive and negative sculpture. Remember you need balance in your positive and negative space. You also need a well thought out design not just "poke holes"
