Beginning our first projectIn order to better understand how to use the tools in Adobe Illustrator we need to practice our understanding of negative and positive space on paper first. This is part of our process of planning.

Copy your first assignment in your manual:

1. You have 3 sheets to choose from to practice negative and positive space.

2. I will only grade 1 of the 3. Turn your best one in.

3. If you complete all 3 you get extra credit.
