This past week in Art 1 classes we talked about negative and positive space. A fun drawing exercise to illustrate this is what we called a Face Vase. Students had to draw two facial profiles as if they were "looking at each other" and then shade them in leaving the negative space between them white. The result is a kind of optical illusion. Your eye may switch back and forth seeing the faces or seeing the "vase" in between. Some students got really creative with interesting profiles!
