We have to learn to see negative spaces and the exercises you will engage with will enable you to switch your thinking. Gradually, you will start to see all the negative spaces and forma around you and the world will, once again appear different. You are beginning to see with the Creative Eye.
One of the masters of Negative Space was an architect who was instrumental in designing the modern world we now live in. Le Corbusier discovered new ways to use space and shadow to give buildings, interiors and furniture new dimensions. Many of these images will seem very normal to you, but he was shaping a new aesthetic that would shake the world out of the ornamented designs of the 18th and 19th century.
See what you think of these and then have a look at the way space has been used in your own home, office block , local shopping centre or school.
