ACTIVATING THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE: cropping

Last Wednesday we started discussing the topic of Composition, specifically different strategies for activating and engaging with the negative areas. Both of the drawings above are "cropped" views of tools emphasizing the most interesting parts rather than trying to fit the whole object on the page. By cropping the objects, the negative areas are isolated playing a more important role in the balance and visual interest of the composition.
