Adult Drawing Class: Looking at Negative Shapes.
Dining Chair Positive and Negative Drawing (images by Melissa Houle) In this session, we’re going to experiment with drawing the spaces around the positive central shape, gradually revealing it as we do so. Drawing negative shapes startles our brains with the unexpected, and we start paying attention to what we actually see, as opposed to assuming we know what we see. Studying negative shapes can also help when we’re trying to work out the positions and distances between multiple objects in a complicated composition. As we become better, more careful observers, our drawing skills improve, as well. All materials and instruction will be provided. There is room for 20 people on a first come, first served basis. For accessibility accommodations (ex. ASL), please fill out the online form at sccld.org/accessibility 7+days prior to the event. If you need assistance with the form, speak with a staff member at your local library, call (408) 540-3945, or email us at ask@sccl.org.
