Positive and Negative Tulips




The positive and negative concept was a challenging concept for the kindergartners to grasp. However, many were amazingly skilled at drawing a tulip, cutting it out and reversing the image.
The students' work was used to demonstrate the concept, and more than a few adults said, "I learned something."
For those of you that are unclear about the distinction between positive and negative space, well, generally positive space depicts recognizable objects. Negative spaces are unoccupied areas. Color has nothing to do with "space."
