Blog Negative/Positive Space - Cut Out

Posted by Adil Shamsud-Din in Art - Freshman · Hull · d1 Band on Thursday, June 8, 2017 at 8:59 am

My negative space is the dark green, its the darkest piece of my art work. The negative space is the most eye catching thing, it helps the artist to effect as the "real" subject of an image. i found my negative space by looking for the darkest color you had. it enhances the art because, it allows the artwork to be eye catching.

Breakdancing // Kyle Thomas

Posted by Kyle Thomas in Art - Freshman · Hull · d1 Band on Tuesday, May 16, 2017 at 9:20 pm

For this assignment I had to think of three words that describes me the best and make it into a stamp. During this assignment I worked really hard on it. So, three words that I describe myself is hard working, talented, and smart. I choose them three because they are the words that best describe basically who I am and my personality. My image is a person who is breakdancing. I wanted that type of image because I am a really good dancer and it something special about. My image goes in a out of negative space. I know that because my teacher help me figure that out. It was hard cutting out my image because it wasn't easy. It wasn't easy because I had to make sure that I wouldn't cut out any positive space. But I mange to overcome this obstacle and I hope that you like my image.

Printmaking // Kyle Thomas

Posted by Kyle Thomas in Art - Freshman · Hull · d1 Band on Tuesday, May 16, 2017 at 8:50 pm

Printmaking is an art where you put ink on a certain material that has previously been carved and ink has been put on it then printed onto paper. It was originated in China around AD 105.The following print is by Samantha Moody. I find this piece interesting because of the simple black and white contrast. Another reason it's pleasing to me is because I like how the dinosaur looks and how it goes in and out of negative space. . I wonder what was the inspiration of this creative print.

Sheild

Posted by Shaheed Williams in Art - Freshman · Hull · d1 Band on Tuesday, May 16, 2017 at 8:13 am

The artform I used to make my picture is called relief printmaking. This type of art uses positive and negative space to create a compelling image. Positive and negative space is also a method in art. Positive space refers to the main focus of the picture while negative space refers to the background of the picture. My image is made from colored paper to make the negative and positive space pop. The image I created relates to me which is a shield. I chose to make a shield as a rubber stamp because I'm protective of my friends and family. The shield represents defense and protection, which is fitting for my protective habits. Before I decided to cut out a shield, I made multiple sketches beforehand. This was done to create a clear image. Making a rubber stamp can be difficult at times.  I would get stuck trying to cut a difficult shape with a knife. To get past this problem I cut a bigger shape to make things easier. I ultimately learned that the use of negative and positive space can make complex images using just space.

Final Stamp Design

Posted by Kennedy Fields in Art - Freshman · Hull · d1 Band on Monday, May 15, 2017 at 10:48 pm

The three words I started with to describe myself were loving, funny, and outgoing. I was stuck in creating a design that fit in those characteristics until I did some research. I looked up personality traits for my zodiac sign, Cancer. Cancers are described as someone whose hard on the outside, but soft on the inside. That is why Cancers are represented as crabs. 
The next step in created the design for my cut out was difficult. I ended drawing a crab a total of 4 times. In the beginning my crab was too big. The assignment required for the design to be within a 7x7in. square, so that automatically cancelled out drawing number 1. My next sketch was incorrect in providing negative and positive space, because of details I put on the inside. Finally my last sketch gave me the correct work because it was just the perimeter of the crab and no lines in the legs of the crab. 
Positive and negative space are very important in any design, because it helps to identify the object much clearer.

Negative/ Positive Space Cut Out

Posted by Payton McQuilkin in Art - Freshman · Hull · d1 Band on Monday, May 15, 2017 at 2:24 pm

Negative space is the space around the subject. The space around the space of the subject/ like the background.I found the negative space but finding the subject which was the bird in the middle so the space around the is the space I had to cut out. It helps seeing the negative space makes the subject of the whole image stand out. In my eyes seeing the negative space enhances the drawing. This is because seeing the background makes the subject stand out.

Final Stamp Design

The stamp above symbolizes me in many ways. The flower above is an orange blossom. An orange blossom has a meaning that many people don’t know about. The meaning is chastity, purity and loveliness. It’s a symbol of me because my heart is big enough for love and forgiveness and my purity is where God wants it to be. In my brainstorm, i used words such as loving, forgiving, funny, outgoing, outspoken, and creative. The orange blossom is my favorite flower.

When I brainstormed my words, I looked for words that had common meanings. At first, I was going to draw a diamond but I thought that's a diamond would be basic. So instead, I looked deeper and found characteristic traits that I never knew about myself. I realized that all flowers had meanings, so I researched my favorite flower and found out its meaning and how it connected with me.

The negative space is the white. The positive space is the flower. I chose to do it this way because I feel like the flower is a powerful and positive symbol. Positive space refers to the main focus of a picture, while negative space refers to the background. In this case, the flower is the mains focus.

Final Stamp ~Art

Posted by Rahmir Powell in Art - Freshman · Hull · d1 Band on Saturday, May 13, 2017 at 11:16 pm

This stamp is me. You see a basketball, with sunglasses and feet. The basketball simply represents my favorite sport. The sunglasses represent my personality and how cool, and relaxed I am. But as you can tell, this basketball has no arms, only legs. There's a reason behind that. The legs show that no matter what I'm determined to always keep moving, and to push forward in any situation. 
The following assignments built up to this point. We were preparing for the cut by making other stamps, and learning about the art of positive and negative space. Negative and positive space is important because when you are painting or drawing, you must be able to see which is which. Positive space is important because it highlights every detail, and negative space is important because it helps bring out that detail. I used to get stuck at not being able to tell the difference, but now I'm an expert.
In conclusion, I can apply this to the real world. I'm glad I had the opportunity to learn this, and now I feel more prepared for art.

Art Week5 Day2 Final Stamp Design

Posted by Donald Moses in Art - Freshman · Hull · d1 Band on Friday, May 12, 2017 at 8:43 pm


(NOTE): I finished my stamp before it was assigned to glue the cut out in our art books on May 8th 2017


This stamp symbolizes me as I play a lot of games at home. The stamp I made uses the Destiny symbol which is the game I play the most of at home on the PS4. Inside the symbol I wrote my name on the ends then the word Gamer in the middle-bottom which is the word I chose when I brainstormed ideas. Some words that I listed down on my brainstorm are intelligent, tall, strongish, and quick. The brainstorm was to help us figure out what we students wanted to do for starting designs. After the starter designs I chose my gamer design to be my final design as it was more symbolic to my personal self and not my school self. Negative and positive space is important especially when making stamps as positive or negative space will be covered in ink to make the image that whatever other space makes. It’s also important to make sure you know what space is which of the image as if you use the wrong space the stamp won’t look right when you use it. I used negative and positive space by cutting out the letters I used to make my name, and word chosen from my brainstorm as part of the background. I kept the inside part for my letters O, D, and tried to with A as part of the actual image. To truly understand negative space you have to look at the image itself then do the same with the background as you don’t know what the actual image was supposed to be if it's confusing. Trying to put the inside letters was a problem as it was hard to get it to stay on its own and I had to use the cutting knife to keep it in place. A mental problem was just the nervousness of not ruining the cut as I was cutting it. Well what I learned about positive and negative space along the way is a tricky thing to answer. If you mean by this week then no, as a whole through the entire quarter up to now I learned a lot of negative and positive space from how you can use it to make 2 images into one frame. Also how you could just use the background to give pictures details without all the lines and colors.

Final Stamp Design - Siarra C

Posted by Siarra Cummings in Art - Freshman · Hull · d1 Band on Friday, May 12, 2017 at 8:40 pm

I chose this scale because it is the symbol of my birth month. My birthday is October 13 so I am a Libra. This scale is a symbol of intuitiveness and knowing when things are equal. These two things I value the most when it comes to my character and personality. I also made it pink because it's my favorite color which is apart of me. At first I wanted to create a flower but then I realized I only really like to draw flowers they don't really represent me. So I went with something a little more cliche and something that connects with me well. I wanted to do something that represents me more than anything else and I think my zodiac sign and the meaning behind it fits what I was looking for. 
The process behind doing my design was hard. I tried to make it look as symmetrical as possible but it wasn't working out. Using that knife was a little challenging at points since I don't have steady hands using stuff like that. My negative space is all the space I don't use. Like in my picture I decided to use black since that's what I consider negative space to be, just there. Negative space is the space that isn't needed and the positive space is the drawing itself, it's everything that needs to make the picture.
I think I truly understand the meaning of negative and positive space. Some pictures like intricate ones it could be hard to point out the different spaces but if you start to get the context it's not that hard. In the future though I would like to start doing some of these negative and positive space drawings they are actually pretty cool to look at.
