The document provides guidance on how to draw using negative space. It explains that negative space is the area between and around the actual object. It encourages the reader to focus on drawing the shapes surrounding the object rather than the object itself. The document then outlines an in-class activity where students will select an object, draw it from three perspectives using negative space, and shade in the drawings. Finally, it suggests techniques like ink, paint, collage, writing, and stenciling that can be used to finalize the negative space drawings.
