Negative Space Drawing

Negative space - the spaces around an object, the spaces where an object is not.

For this project, each table received a vase with leaves in it (like the one below)

Students were to do a drawing of the NEGATIVE SPACES and then fill in those negative space with either pencil or charcoal.  

Here are some examples of negative space drawings that are similar to our assignment:
