The purpose of the exercise that was given us on Friday was to understand the use of negative and positive space. However, it was not only that single concept; it was also for us to learn the geometric and organic shapes in the spacing. One of the things I’ve learnt from this exercise is that not only it is hard to keep craftsmanship in mind at all times but also to always be able to see the bigger picture. During the exercise I was able to detect which of the papers I was cutting was negative or positive. There are some points where it could be hard to distinguish the two, however it allows the mind to explore and develop new ideas.
I learnt to keep an open mind mostly from this exercise and that it will take time and a lot of practice for my work to improve. Yet, I know as time goes on and I keep updating here on openlab. I will see the progress I’ve made.
