Positive and Negative Shapes

These two sculputres created by Dame Barbara Hepworth are perfect examples of positive and negative shape. negative shape is the art spaced around the main imagine in this example it would be the wooden bottoms because its flat and not part of the sculpture but is going to help the sculpture stick out more. the gray sculptures would be the positive shape because they are the main point of this piece, they have a three dimensional look to really help them stand out . artist use this to make their piece stand out more. as you can see the gray sculptures really pop out because of the wood foundation.
