Negative Space

Grade Level:
11
Subject:
Art
Topic:
The element of Space
Objective:
Students will be able to observe more carefully the spaces in art work and understand how to use space, positive and negative, to create works that have balance.
Other Information:
1. Understand Negative Space
2. Use previously learned color theroy and contour line drawing techniques in the work of art.
3. Use the elements of color, line and space to achieve balance and pattern in the artwork
Reflection:
- large size worked out great. More projects in this size I think will be good
- patterning was an issue for some classes. I think I glossed over that too much and need more time - 1/2 class - on the principal of repetition and pattern. maybe during the line unit?
- watercolor demonstration - seemed about the right amount of time, but some classes were misusing the brushes and the paint. Let them do a quick practice maybe?
- 1 or 2 more quick writes on balance - introduce balance earlier in the year?
- have students grade themselves and 1 more class critique. Musical one? Juniors - did not critique enough at all this year so far.
- once a cycle formal critique - use book to start, then student work.
Prep:
negative space example work - done in steps so students will only see each step at at a time. Short video on negative space and demonstration of how it affects the overall composition.
Materials:
paper, pencils, bike, watercolor paint and brushes, wide and thin Sharpie markers
