Final Stamp Design - Sam Gualtieri

Posted by Thomas Gualtieri in Art - Freshman · Hull · d2 Band on

My stamp is a silhouette of Calvin (from Calvin and Hobbes) With negative space where the brain is. The point of this is not to say that Calvin has no brain, the intention is that I can draw inside of this space to represent imagination. Calvin has a vivid imagination, as shown when he talks to his life size intelligent tiger friend. In a letter from my 7th grade teacher, I was compared to calvin for have a Calvin style of thinking. I have a pretty big imagination. I think of lots of things. I don't think of a lot of actually good things. However, I think of lots of things. I tried doing a compilation of all the things I enjoy, but that proved to be difficult since I couldn't overlap or show detail in anything through negative space. I needed something more simple. I ended up making this. It's important that the brain is in negative so that, as I said before, I can doodle inside of it every time it's stamped or printed. I didn't have a very hard time grasping the concept of negative space since it's pretty just what's there and what isn't there. The space around a person or object is negative. The person or object is positive. I learned that it can be used to incorporate details outside of just what's physically there, such as simple facial features or seams. Overall there weren't too many hurdles to jump, and it was fairly interesting.

Final Stamp Design

Posted by Mackenzie Hopkins in Art - Freshman · Hull · d2 Band on

While making this piece I had to brainstorm ideas and words that represent me and who I am. Some of the words that I thought of were, caring, friendly, flexible, tall, outgoing, and book lover. Although from first glance you may not be able to tell why this symbol represents me, knowing the words involved and meaning behind it, will make it easier to understand. While making this stamp I wanted to have flexibility involved. Life can throw many things your way, and sometimes plans can change at last minute, and I can be really tolerant of that. So I incorporated the circle to represent my flexibility. For friendly, I try to be as nice as I can to everyone, and I have lots of friends, which the lines that connect to me outer circle are. Lots of lines mean lots of friends, and I’m a pretty friendly person. The flower in the middle is supposed to represent my caring. I have lots of empathy for people I meet, and will always look out for a friend. When I think of flowers, I think of gentle and caring things.


The assignments were to brainstorm about 10 words that described us, mine you can find here. Our next assignment was to sketch out our ideas in our sketch book, and pick the one we like best, than today we would cut out the positive and negative spaces and paste it into our sketchbook.


Positive and negative space play large roles in this stamp project. If I were to just draw lines without and space to them, I wouldn't have shapes, only cuts in paper. Thinking about it in the form of a stamp, if I were to put the stamp into ink, it wouldn't pick any up, and would be just a blob of ink.

When Mrs. Hull explained positive and negative space to the classroom, I thought I understood it well, and it was easy to understand, but it wasn’t. I tried to make a few positive space drawings, and they never turned out quite how positive space really is. I asked mr. Herrera how it should look, and he explained it well to me. Also, looking at pictures of negative space, like the one here, helped me understand. That is what I learned about positive and negative space.

Negative Space and Positive Space

  1. Negative Space is the area of an image that is not part of the main image(Center Image)

  2. I found the negative space by finding the image then identifying the areas that are not the image.

  3. It gives them more skill as a photographer or drawer because it develops the skill of finding the center image.

  4. Yes, because it makes it much easier to find the center image.

Week 3- Day 2-negative space cut out

Posted by Alina Seing in Art - Freshman · Hull · d2 Band on

Negative space is an area of an object that surrounds the main object of the picture. I found negative space in my cut out by looking at it and there was two different colors; one was light and the other was dark. The dark area was positive space and the light one was negative. So I cutted out the negative space. It helps artist to see in negative space because it is easier for them to see the main subject of the picture and it could be more eye catching to the viewers. I think seeing drawing in negative space does not enhance the drawing because it takes away alot of details in the pictures.

Negative Space

Posted by Simon Voituriez in Art - Freshman · Hull · d2 Band on

Negative space could be defined as the space around the object, not the borders of the object itself. In my cut out, we can recognize the negative space as the purple part that is around the bird. Seeing negative space is very helpful for an artist because it allows to make the difference between the object and what’s around. Then, the artist can play with these elements to make a confusion. I also think that negative space enhance drawings because it makes a difference with the “classical drawings” and create the surprise while seeing what’s represented on another angle.

Negative Space Cut Out

Posted by Cianni Mack in Art - Freshman · Hull · d2 Band on

Negative space is the space around or between an image. Negative space can show other shapes that catch the viewer's eye. In my image the negative space is the space between the owl, so in this case it is the purple. It helps an artist to see in negative space because it can show the details of the image more. Seeing in negative space does enhance drawings because it makes the art more appealing to the eye by having viewers seeing more than than the actual image. By having negative space viewers can see shapes and other images beyond the main focus

Negative Space

Negative space is the space around an image in art. Say if you have a picture of a black dot on the middle of a piece of white paper. The black dot is the positive space and the white space around it is the negative space. In my picture above there is a mixture of positive and negative space. I found the negative space by seeing what makes the image of the tree pop out, the green. Seeing in negative space helps an artist  see the image clearly, negative space emphasizes the positive space.  Negative space can enhance drawings. The contrast between two colors make the image pop out. The negative and positive can create different textures in the piece. Negative space is a unique way to make your art pop!


Negative and positive space cut out

Posted by Jayden Tull in Art - Freshman · Hull · d2 Band on

Negative space is when you have a picture that has one main part shaded in or around the picture. Just look at my image, see how the green gives out the shape of the bird. The green is the positive space and the black is the negative space.


I found negative space by tracing out the outline and moving key detailed parts to give it it’s dimensions.


It helps them by giving them the shape of the image so now they can later add detail.


Yes it gives an overview of the image.20170428_130445.jpg

Week 3 - Day 2 - blog - negative/positive space - cut out

Posted by Nasya Ie in Art - Freshman · Hull · d2 Band on

Negative space in art, is space around the object/Subject. Negative made you focus on the background instead of the object/subject.

I found my negative space in my cut out by looking at my first cut out then basically flipping it on the other side. You can see the darker background which is negative and the lighter background, which is positive.

Negative space can help an artist by making illusions. For example, you can see two different things in one. I think negative space is good for illusions, seeing in different perspective.

Seeing in negative space does and does not enhance the drawings. I say that because negative space does take away some details, but also you can make negative space in as a illusion.
