STEP 3: Hold leaf on canvas as you paint around the outline, pulling outward along the edges. Repeat around all leaves.\u003Cbr>STEP 4: Paint the entire canvas around the leaves. Squeeze paint directly onto canvas and blend.\u003Cbr>STEP 5: Outline the leaves when the painting is dry. Use paint or black marker. | \u003Cbr>SUPPLIES: Leaf template Canvas Scissors Paint Brush Marker |\n| In a typical image, a subject is normally depicted in a color and the space around it is left blank (white), thereby forming a silhouette of the subject. Reversing the tones so that the space around the subject is colored and the subject itself is left blank, however, causes the negative space to be apparent as it forms shapes around the subject. This is called figure-ground reversal. The artist M.C. Escher used negative space in many of his works. |  |\n| [www. littlebinsforlittlehands.com](www. littlebinsforlittlehands.com) |  |\n\n| \u003Cbr>Get creative with our Picasso inspired turkey project.\u003Cbr>A fun way to learn about abstract art!\u003Cbr>INSTRUCTIONS\u003Cbr>STEP 1: Print out the turkey template.\u003Cbr>STEP 2: Using a black marker and the ruler, design the turkey and his feathers into sections.\u003Cbr>STEP 3: Color each section a different color.\u003Cbr>STEP 4: Paint a background for your turkey using watercolor paints.\u003Cbr>STEP 5: Cut out the turkey and glue onto the\u003Cbr>SUPPLIES\u003Cbr>Turkey printable Ruler Markers Scissors Glue stick Paper Watercolors\u003Cbr>background you painted. Get creative with the placement.\u003Cbr>PABLO PICASSO\u003Cbr>Picasso was born in Malaga in Spain in 1881. His style of art was considered ‘modern’ and ‘abstract’. He is considered one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. He is best known as the co-founder of cubism. A work of art is cubist when the artist opts to break up objects and re-assemble them in abstract and geometric form.\u003Cbr>Some Abstract Artists had theories on the emotions that were caused by certain colors and shapes. They planned out their seemingly random paintings to the last detail. Other Abstract Artists painted with emotion and randomness hoping to capture their emotion and subconscious thoughts on the canvas. |\n| --- |\n| [www.littlebinsforlittlehands.com](www.littlebinsforlittlehands.com) |","cbCaigK45pMdSyUs","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigK45pMdSyUs","pdf",2617715,19,"English","# Negative space\n## Fall leaf project steps\n# Picasso-inspired turkey\n## Instructions and supplies\n## Picasso and cubism background","[{\"question\":\"What is negative space in art, and how does it relate to figure-ground reversal?\",\"answer\":\"Negative space is the area around and between image subjects.
