positive/negative space

My drawing class is working on composition and proportion tools. I think that the positive/negative spaces of an image can function both ways. Because we have had an unexpected run of great weather we worked on the initial drawings outside until it got too dark to see, then came inside to activate the negative spaces by filling them with textures, real and imagined. Here are a couple of students at work in class. I’ll share more images with you when they are all finished!
