PROPORTION: Sighting diagonals POSTIVE AND NEGATIVE RELATIONSHIPS: Cropping

Last Friday began with a description of One and Two Point Linear Perspective. The most important points we discussed were 1. maintaining eye level and 2. "sighting" diagonals. After the lunch break we started exploring Composition.

Compositions are divided into two parts: positive areas (the objects) and negative areas (the spaces around and between the objects). The objective in the drawings above was to activate the negative areas by drawing a single object that touches two to three edges. Both drawings could have larger positive areas but they both divide the negative space into interesting shapes.
