maybe the negative space is the shaded area at the middle of the page.
I had a prof who felt that negative space was a silly term. what's so negative about it?
I think we all know what he's talking about here, the areas we he hasn't drawn anything, which in this composition works wonderfully. It's a break, a point where the eyes can go to rest, a relief from the density, the madness, the twirling,twirling, twirling.
I think 'density' is my favorite becuase that's how Ivan Eyre described my work (which I think can be a pro and a con). It's one of those words that is so meaningful/meaningless at the same time. Like the word 'negative'.
Here's a trick: If you paint a sketch like this, that foreground would really pop out at you if painted with lots of detail, like a close-up(see clutch). And imagine if the line in the background had no line at all? whoa, I've said too much. :)
A Love for Art was a collaborative blog for visual artists, musicians, writers, and social scientists. This blog has evolved into a new blog called BETA, go check it out!

Ok, it's very cool, but it isn't the negative space I like so much. I like the density (James favorite adjective).
please do not deleate comments the blog. it is not for you to censor.
Oh, here we go!

Yea, whose doing that?
Don't be silly. It's not censoring, it's editing. I deleted my own comments, and reworded it. Don't worry your not missing a thing.
or I mean "reworded them"!
