Today I finished my first project in our figure/ground studies, which was a study of negative space and ground. In this work, we were required to outline the model and every student and desk within our focus, and fill in all other space with black gouache. I chose to focus on the model's torso and to fill some of the large spaces with other details in order to make the composition of the piece more interesting, and the end product came out looking very abstract.Working with the figure/ground relationship and negative space was not only more difficult than just focusing on figure (which is usually done in compositions) but also required almost a different skill and way of thinking., which I found deeply interesting.
