Positive Negative Still LIfe

Positive Negative Still Life




This assignment focuses on the positive and negative aspects of the art piece.  However, before we get to this point,  we were supposed to have used our viewfinders to  find a comfortable composition  and draw, from where we were seated, the "structure" placed in front of us.   The idea was not to focus on each of the items that the structure was comprised of, but the shapes that it created.  We concentrated on the negative shapes rather than the positive.  And so, the end result is the now positive figure seen above.  I chose  an underwater motif for my piece.   The still-life figure has now become a sunken ship in this case.  I used a variety of values  and had also used the cross-hatching technique for shading purposes.  It was  a really fun assignment and I enjoyed incorporating my own style of art into the piece.
