Positive space in a picture is like the main character in a story. It is the main focus in the picture, or the objects that are in the front. Negative space is like the backround information in a story. It is everything that is in the background of your picture. In this project, students had a black square as the main focus of their project (positive space.) A white square was provided for the background (negative space.) The goal was to create an interesting picture that used both positive and negative space in an interesting way.
