Negative Space Watercolor – Middle School Art – High School Visual Art Project

Description

This negative space art lesson is perfect for middle or high school art classes and is great for distance learning or as an in-classroom project. Learning to see and be aware of negative space is a fundamental skill that takes practice in learning how to draw. This is a fun and expressive way to get used to looking both at the positive and negative space when drawing.

The reference images contain links to the video demonstrations showing how to complete the project. Students love this project and will have so much fun learning about complementary color schemes using watercolor and oil pastel to fill in the negative spaces of their drawings.
