DIVERGENT (Final Stamp Drawling)
My stamp stands for "Divergent" because I see my self as a different human being. The word Divergent represents me perfectly because I express, learn, and is a different person in general whether its academically or not. Some words that I brainstormed was Straight forward, Outspoken, and Thoughtful but Divergent stood out the most. To create my image it took two periods because I either got frustrated or couldn't cut my stamp out. But I think my work paid. off because I love my stamp, and got a comment by Ms.Hull that my stamp describes me very well. As you see on my stamp the positive parts are my arrows because, it shows to me that I am able to become successful and many different ways and my personality can be either down a positive route or a negative route. The hardest part for me was to chose my positive and negative space because I didn't know which part will look better cut out, so I gave it a try and went to cut out my arrows and it worked!
Final Stamp Design
The assignment was to cut out a design for a stamp in negative space. We had to pick a symbol or a design that reflected our personality. I have always identified with my astronomical sign, Aries. I knew that I wanted to add it into my stamp because it is a big part of my identity. I also wanted the piece to be simple and striking. I decided of coloring half of the S because it is defined and sleek. I wasn’t sure how I would put these two symbols into one stamp, but I didn’t want them to be separate. I decided on an overlapping design and I’m glad that it turned out the way I envisioned it. Explain the importance of negative and positive space and how you used it in your design. Negative space allows the view to see your piece exactly the way you want them to. It makes your piece stand out with bold color. I used negative space by cutting away the parts that I didn’t want the viewer to see. I kept the dark, solid outlines and the middle of the S to help convey the message of my personality. One thing that I learned was that colored paper is very helpful. I drew and pasted my stamp on white paper, when I should have cut it out on black paper. This would have allowed the black parts to stand out even more. Ms. Hull also said that I would have trouble cutting out thin lines, so I made them thicker. This not only made it easier to cut out, I also helps the stamp with its striking image.
Creative Print
This stamp symbolizes me because I love making things and being very creative. The letters are weird and you wouldn't really see anyone write like that, that's why I like this. In my brainstorming I wrote weird, funny, self conscious, social, but my favorite was creative. I knew what I was going to do with that right away. I looked up different ways to look up some of the letter and the silliest ones I found I put on my print.
The negative space in my picture are the letters and its important so that the positive space, the background, won't clash and you can't tell the difference between the two. To truly understand the process of negative and positive space is just to practice. Making sure what you want to see is seen.I got stuck on the connected letter E. It still came out how I wanted it but I had to do about three tries. I was rushing so then I knew I had to slow down to get the perfect E. I learned that your picture can go in and out of negative and positive space as long as you can still see your picture.

The writing process for this was very long and intricate. First, I brainstormed things that I believed described myself. These words were Outspoken, Short, Creative, Nature, Artistic, Supportive, Extroverted, Talkative, Pessimistic, and Makeup. I eventually tried to narrow these words down to three words which I thought described me the best. These words were nature, artistic, and creative. To sketch my design, I had to talk positive and negative space into account. I decided to use different symbols to represent each aspect of my personality, but make them outlines so the detailing does not get lost in the negative space. I ended picking up 5 symbols to represent my three words. I put my eyes to show me looking up at the things that I love. I put a book and a music note both to represent my creativity. I enjoy reading, writing, singing, and playing piano and I believed these two symbols represented my different forms of creativity. I put a paintbrush to show my artistic abilities and my appreciation of art as well. Finally, I put a flower to show my love of nature and being outside. I made all of them silhouettes so the positive space would be easy and cut out my stamp. I had to take out some of my detail when I realized it would be difficult to replicate when put into positive/negative space. Overall, the project was not difficult but required a lot of thought and time.
Final Stamp Design
Mystery and loss and no strangers in my life. I have gone through a lot of dark times where I've lost what I loved. My words were as mentioned, mystery and loss, but also sustenance. I've developed a durability over time that I now use to protect me from the effects of loss. "Take no more" conveys my strength to go on through times of discord. The scythe represents death of course, and all that He has taken from me. That adds to the constant that I can withstand what He may give me.
I knew that I wanted to do something relating to that theme. With my first sketches, I kept negative space in mind but didn't draw my image around it. In one of the previous assignments where we had to practice cutting out negative and positive space, I had some trouble figuring out what parts should be positive or negative. My other sketches were complicated and intricate, and knowing that I had so much trouble with the practice version, I wanted to have as few pieces as possible. The ribbon, scythe, and quote remained throughout all of the versions, with varying amounts of detail and added elements. I found that have the three pieces, without anything else, would be the most powerful because there aren't any distractions.
Figuring out which parts of my drawing would be negative or positive space was a struggle. As I went through, in all honesty, close to seven sketches of the final, I found that I could use negative space to my advantage. Small details such as the changing direction in the ribbon became enhanced by cut outs. I also knew beforehand that making the lettering negative and not positive space would come out cleaner, as to not crumple each separate piece of paper. That caused the ribbon to be positive space. The scythe itself was always positive space, just because I thought that such a dark symbol should contrast with the rest of it in the darkest fashion possible.
Throughout my life, I have been surrounded by tattoo artists. When I was homeschooled, I would go to work with my mom where I would color in copies of tattoo sketches. When I got a little older, I started drawing my own, fascinated by the clashing of the ribbon or scroll and lettering. The kinds of tattoos I was exposed to were diverse, but the ones that I remember depended heavily on negative and positive space. When I draw now, I think I too depend on it, as I like line drawings that form single shapes. I didn't have too much trouble with the concept of the negative and positive space in my own design, just the given template earlier on. The biggest issue throughout all of the assignments was cutting them out with a blade. I don't think that my poor motor and anger management skills had much to do with the concept though. If I took away two things through all of this, it's that a drawing is never final and working with layers enhances contrast. I plan to take these skills into my own sketchbook as well as the rest of this course.

I made this to represent me because I needed to make something that describes me. I made a video game controller because I really like video games and that Pacman symbol is only there because I like Pacman and the C and the L in Pacman are my first initials which is Charles and Langley. I also drew the chord to show that I’m connected to a few people meaning that I got a good amount of friends. Also I use the negative space for the buttons and the logo so they can stand out the most to whoever is looking at this. Negative space is basically the space that is in the white, and I used negative space to my advantage so they can be empty in the buttons. I first drew this game controller, and then I cut out the game controller it self and then the buttons and the logo because when I glued it on my sketch book it allowed me to make a good piece of art and appealing to look at. This has to be by far the best piece I made this year with construction paper. As I was making this piece I learned how important negative space and positive space really is because the it’s like a style. If you use positive space and negative space for another, you might display a different mood. It all depends on how much of negative space or positive space you use. I was really trying to catch a more cheerful mood, but the colors I chose kind of brings out a more negative vibe, and that is not what I want. When I was brainstorming what words described me I was thinking more of the lines like, nice, kind of cool, smart,ect. I had a lot of other designs before this like a tiger or a wolf but, it didn’t really feel like me. When I drew the video game controller however it felt like it described me the most.

I think my logo/stamp perfectly symbolizes me and who I am. The words I chose to inspire my piece were gay, kermit, lizard, drawing, long, creative, passionate, dramatic, opinionated, angry. Through each assignment, I refined my design till I finally decided for the focus of my stamp to be Kermit the Frog. I chose Kermit because he is a character I strongly relate to. The parallels between us are uncanny. My friends actually call me Kermit because they think I bear such a striking resemblance to him. He is constantly stressed like me, and he pursued a career in the arts. He specializes in yelling at people and having existential crises, and is featured in many spectacular memes. I originally wanted to include a pencil and paintbrush to represent my creative ability and artistic spirit felt the logo was too busy with them.
Understanding negative and positive is important for artists. The positive space is my drawing is the lines made with the cutout of Kermit. I think that only using negative space in my piece and not adding much detail really makes Kermit pop. I did a pretty awful job of cutting out my stamp, and I probably should’ve cut it out one paper at a time instead of one paper over the other because it was really hard to cut out. It ended up looking pretty rough, but the rough-hewn look was kind of what I was going for. I learned that sometimes for negative space to work effectively, a simple design is needed.Final Stamp Editor
Goofy. The word I picked to describe me and as my stamp is goofy. The reason I picked this word is because it is an unique word that can be illustrated in many different ways. The image and drawing I chose for the word goofy was a jester hat. The reason I put a jester hat and the word goofy together is because during medieval times, jesters were the clowns of the village. They would make fun of themselves and wear silly clothes with random colors to make the village and especially the king laugh. The whole reason for the jester is to please the king. Make him happy and laugh. I honestly enjoy making everyone laugh. It's an great sight seeing people laugh because it makes you feel like they're happy now because of you. The reason I chose to do the hat of an jester instead of an outfit or his scepter is because the hat has an easy design and shape. The scepter is an very thin staff that would take to much to look at or enlarge. The outfit is too much and would look like a normal outfit with the negative and positive areas. It just wouldn't look right. I think that me choosing to do the jester hat isn't really original but it is very unique and creative.

Out of my 10 words to gather ideas for my stamp I chose the words, Gamer, Enthusiastic, and Pal. I incorporated these words through image and text to create a design for a stamp that I'm very pleased with. The words state Pal, cause I figured this was the best way to incorporate it into my drawing. Also I added a thumbs up to show I'm enthusiastic and encouraging. The letters on my finger tips, the battery slot, and the analog stick. Each represents my interest in gaming.
The design I was happy from the start with, however I went through many frustrating design choices with the circle, the words, and the positive/negative space. The one thing I was sure about from the start was the circle with "SAL-PAL APPROVED" going around each design. Overall my designs varied between a thumbs up, a smiley face, and a few iterations of a tv screen. In the end I decided to do the thumb because it was the most pleasing, and seemed more challenging and detailed than the other designs. However, negative and positive space soon became an issue. I at one point removed the letters because it wouldn't work with the negative space. Eventually I decided it was worth the risk and decided to see how the final outcome turned out.
I learned that especially with words, its very hard to do negative and positive space and portray them, as well as the detail on the hands and fingers. One issue I had was making the mistake of rushing through mistaking the wrong date and misreading the instructions. This made my first final more like a rough which helped me make some crucial design choices, and allowed a neater and nicer finish. It helped me make a important decision with negative and positive spacing on the design. Having lines become positive space, and the rest would become negative with few exceptions. This allows me to show and incorporate more detail into the hand, the words, and the overall image of the stamp.

When we started this project I had to choose between three words and immediately the first three words that came to mind were impatient, overachieving and leader. Out of those three words I choose the word impatient as the word to symbolize me the most. If you were to ask someone to describe me, one of the first things they would say is that I am a impatient person and that is not necessarily a good thing, but it is what makes me. As I was starting to design the actual symbol I was searched up the word impatient and images of clocks kept showing up so I decided to use an image of a clock to symbolize me. For me the clock symbolized time passing which to me means something that has to go by fast. I sketched out the design and then passed it on to construction paper.
The positive and negative space in my design was used as a way to contrast and symbolize how I want the time to go by fast , the negative space was white, and it won’t because time is time, the positive space. It also helped to pop out the colors and form the figure of the clock. In My opinion having both positive and negative space is really important to make a image pop. Whether that negative space forms odd shapes or forms that shape the conveys a message the contrast should be there. Positive space is just as important it helps the colors contrast against the negative space. It is a tool that is very useful.

In this process I struggled. I had a hard time understanding what to cut and what to glue. In the end product I guess I can say I finish better than I thought I would. This stamp represents me because I would describe myself as a skinny, imperfect, and delicate person. When brainstorming I used words such as; unique, imperfect, pretty, intelligent, etc.
Throughout this assignment I learned what the background and steps of the stamp. At first we practice with cutting out a design already made. I did it wrong at first so I had to do it again, until I finally finished successfully. I finally understood that the negative and positive space we had in each picture. We made our very own designs.We learned they couldn’t just have lines, everything had to be shapes. I figured finally how to cut out my imperfect flower and it turned out pretty good.Final Stamp Design
Hello! My name is Asnain Khan and I did this project for my Art class. For this project, we had to brainstorm 10 words that represent us, pick three words and make them into a visual representation of us. Then, we sketched out our stamp and created a 7x7” rubber stamp in our sketchbooks the with correct negative and positive space. After that, we took our final rubber stamp design and cut it out of a single piece of construction paper. Which we then took the positive space of the rubber stamp design cut out and glued it into our sketchbooks.
When I was brainstorming, I used words such as, thoughtful, honest, hard worker, reliable, responsible, talented, successful, supportive, supportive, passionate, and open-minded. I chose the word honest. My stamp is a logo that represents honesty. This logo represents how honest I am. As you can see, this logo is in positive space. Positive space refers to the main focus of a picture. Negative space refers to the background of the picture. To end up with positive space, I cut out the negative space. Everything that is black is the positive space of my picture.
When I was sketching my design, I had a couple of problems. First, I didn’t know what to draw that represent honesty. Then, I thought about doing this. I had a problem figuring out how I can get positive space. But I figured out how after a while. This is how I got my logo.
I learned a lot about positive and negative space. I learned that positive and negative space play an important role in determining the overall composition in a work of art. I also learned that, positive space is best described as the areas in a work of art that are the subjects, or areas of interest and negative space is area around the subjects, or areas of interest. I enjoyed creating both positive and negative space.

In this stamp, I made a personal logo of a coffee cup, cutting out the negative space to outline the positive space. First, let me explain what positive and negative space are. Positive space is any space in a picture where there is something, it's your subject. Negative space is the opposite, the space where there is nothing. It outlines the positive space, the way it forms my coffee cup.
This project was done over the course of a few days. The first day, I was told to come up with a list of words to describe me, then to research and brainstorm image ideas for this stamp. This stamp represents me as a coffee-lover. I think that coffee seems to represent me, because some people like me and others don't, but the ones who like me appreciate me a lot. It also represents me as a barista, a job that I love.
After brainstorming, I sketched my design. My first idea was too small at first, so I had to blow it up a bit. That's how I came up with this idea. I made my coffee cup bigger and added some steam coming off of it. Then, I cut out the negative space of my design on construction paper using an exacto knife. Finally, I glued my negative space onto a piece of pink construction paper and glued the whole thing into my sketchbook.
Final Stamp Design
In my art project I thought it would be best to use the three main parts. I started out with a list of 10 things that I thought described me the best. I was not sure which ones I wanted to keep and get rid of, so I asked some of my friends to help me out. In the end I finished with three main components of my life. My Irish heritage, running/athletics, and of course, gaming. My first design looked nothing of what I had intended it to be. I had to redo my project I believe three times before I finally got what I was looking for. The reason for so many redos was that my positive and negative spaces where not clear. I started out with a basketball hoop instead of a gaming controller, but the positive space would not have shown. But on my final design everything was clear and good looking. You can clearly see the difference in the picture above, in my original draft that was not the case. This was very important because without the difference in spaces the picture doesn't look as good as it could. So I feel that my project is really the best project I could put together.
Just for all you people out there like me who can't tell the difference between positive and negative space, this paragraph is for you. When you think about what negative space, in my mind I at least I think of outer space. It is the same concept with negative space. When the area around objects is a different color than the base, then that is negative space. Positive space is when the objects are a different color than the background. So positive space is the showing of the objects. So if you're confused like me, hopefully this helped you.
Final Stamp Design -- Zivia
At the beginning of this project, we were asked to brainstorm some words the describe ourselves and then choose three main ones to focus on. The three words I chose were creative, Integrity (integrous), and loving. While these are not the only words I would use to describe myself, they are some of the more powerful words. We then had to turn these words into images in our heads and then into a sketch. For this, I drew a lot of inspiration from my name, which means doe (a female deer) in Hebrew. Does stay with their young for about 200 day, which is around 28 ½ weeks. While this may seem short to us, this is a lot longer than most in the animal kingdom. This animal fulfilled my hopes for the word loving.
For the word integrous, I chose to add a wing to my deer. Integrity is about having a strong moral backbone to be able to rise above selfishness and immaturity. Birds, despite having thin, hollow bones, are able to catch wind currents and fly above our capitalist and fraught society and see the beautiful whole. While I am not free of these strains, I do feel that integrity is one of my core values and the wing carries my hopes for truth and justice forward.
As for the word creativity, drawing and writing are my strongest passions and those both start with a pencil. WIth a pencil you can create worlds and character, images and music. A whole new dimension opens when one picks up a pencil. When one can tap into this dimension for a time, I feel they are truly creative.
However, the main images and their positive space (main focus) are one of two aspects of my piece. The negative space around them plays a key part in bring the image to life. In my stamp, negative space was used in three ways: as a background, as an outline, and as an accent. The first is the most obvious as it is found behind the image. The yellow deer has a black background, which is the absence of focus in the image. This then makes the main image pop. As for the outline aspect, negative space turned my pencil sketch lines into shapes. It helped to show the individual feathers of the wing, and differentiate between the deer and the vine circle encompassing her. Finally the accent aspect. This is mostly found in the deer’s face and the veins in the leaves. Negative space allowed me to add in the detail of the eye, nose, jaw bone and eyebrow. Without this lack of positive space, these details would have been lost, causing the deer to looks more like a blobby silhouette then an actual creature.
The last thing I want to touch on is the process of seeing negative and positive space. I didn’t really need to learn to understand it, as seeing it has just been an innate thing I do. But anyway, when it comes to seeing and then using negative and positive space there is, while not a process, a flip. Yes, negative space is used to make the positive pop, but at times there is a flip when negative space becomes a main focus, and therefore becomes positive space. Looking at the eye, to reference the deer's face again, we know there is something there. That is not an empty socket. Yet, I used negative space to show the eyelid and lashes and it works. You know there is an eye there. This flip is my process, and it allows me to give both positive and negative space other definitions and uses.
Final Stamp Design
The reason the Stamp symbolizes me, is mainly because of the two things inside the ring, the sparrow and the pencil it is holding. I chose to use the sparrow because birds are my favorite type of animal and that they typically represent freedom. But I chose the pencil because it represents most of what I love, drawing. Put them together and you could say it represents the freedom of drawing whatever I want.
The first step of this project was to choose three things that represent me. The first two I chose were, of course, drawing and freedom, but the last one was a little bit more subtle. It was being a perfectionist. That's why I wanted to make the stamp look as professional as possible, making it take a little bit longer than expected.
Negative and Positive Space are very important to making a picture pop and making it more noticeable. I thought I used this very well because the colors contrast from each other so much. Throughout the creation, I got stuck a couple of times. The most notable point was when I accidently cut through the ring. I had to think fast, so I decided to just redo the ring all over again.
Before this project, I didn't really know or at least remember anything about Negative and Positive Space. But now I know how truly important these techniques are both in drawing and photography.

This is my final stamp design. The assignment is to create a stamp that related to you and it has to show the negative space and positive space. My first step was to pick out three words that described me " Affectionate, adventurous and trustworthy". Then I start to look all the words up, I found a ton of different stamp and then I combined it together to get into my final stamp.
I created this stamp to represent that I affectionate, trustworthy and adventurous. The hands holding the heart shows trustworthy and affectionate. And the zig zag lines outside shows adventurous. I made my stamp really simple because I think if I make it too complicated then people will not understand it.
I used negative space and positive space to shows that life is short and dangerous, and you should respect what you have right now. The zig zag lines are really short, and thin so that represent the short and dangerous. The hands holding the heart represent how important things is in our life and people should respect what they have.
This assignment is really hard for me because you need to take a lot of time to combined different stamp together to create your own. And the cutting part, my zig zag lines are really hard to cut, that take me awhile to do it. But the most difficult part is to decide where is the positive space and negative space.
Final Stamp Design
So the purpose of this assignment was to create a stamp that represents you. So the way to start the process was to think of ten words that describes me and pick three of those words (My three words being intelligent, simplistic, and distinguish). So after the three words are chosen, I started sketching some ideas for stamps (glasses, an owl, and a peace sign). After that, I decided to do the glasses. So the hardest part for me was to make sure I was able to get the image in my mind out without using so much detail. For example, I used many small lines to create a cracked glass, but they were too small to really cut out. So what I had to do was get rid of the cracked glass idea and drew it in a way so it looked like a piece of the glass is missing. I wouldn’t have never payed attention to that if it wasn’t for negative and positive spacing. Negative and positive spacing helps define a subject and bring balance to the composition. So I had to think if the cracks will do or not. After a while, I decided that it will not and it will be disturbing to the eyes. So to understand negative and positive spacing, I had to read A LOT about it. What really confused me was which was positive spacing and which was negative spacing, so I had to ask others about it and read a bit more. After I got some practice with it, I realized that it depends on how you see it and what the subject is. What I learned from negative and positive spacing was negative and positive spacing helps you figure out if the image has a balanced composition. This stamp is supposed to represent three traits that people described me with, which are intelligent, simplistic, and distinguish. The way my rubber stamp represent my intelligence is by being

This stamp symbolizes me because I am an artist and a poet, and those are two important sides of me. Symbols that represent art and writing were represented on both sides of the M for my name, showing that these hobbies are important to me. This art piece was created after my brainstorm of words that represent my personality. I used the words artsy, poet, and stylish from my brainstorm, and incorporated them into my final piece. Within other assignments, I brainstormed complex art pieces involving snapping fingers for poetry, and a giant M with intricate designs on the pen and paintbrush behind it. From those, I realized that I needed to emphasize positive and negative space, and separated the pen and paintbrush from the M. This brought me to my final drawing, that ended up being symbolic of two parts of me that are equally important. Negative and positive space was important in my design, because when it was intricate and the pen and paintbrush were hidden behind the M, negative space was hard to determine since it was concealed and the details weren't seen. But, my final piece represents space nicely, because the details are separated for emphasis. I had solved the problem of my details not being seen by pulling the art utensils out, and exposing every detail, by cutting them up into pieces and sections. Figuring out how negative and positive space must be presented in art was hard, but the process of cutting out my art piece by hand made me realize the details more.

For this art project we started by making a list of words that described yourself. From this list you were to pick your top three and create symbols for each word. With each symbol we made it into one. This one symbol representing the top three words would be drawn out to perfection, and cut out into positive space of construction paper. Later we will carve out symbol into foam and we will be making prints with it, like a stamp.
I create this symbol to represent that I am musical, loving and adventurous. The outer shape of this symbol creates a heart for loving with the well know musical symbol the treble clef. I put it upside down to create the heart effect look. To represent adventurous I have tringle coming from one side of the heart to be like mountains. I had tried some more detailed looks like sheet music for a cut out but this is going to be made into a stamp so it needed to be more simple. So I tried more realistic images to put together but soon realized it is what symbol I believe represents my word. So it became easier to express my final sketch.
These words symbolize me because I love to be on edge and have fun being outgoing. I have been involved with music my whole life and with most songs I can express a part of myself or I can understand the lyrics. I have a lot of love and care my friends and family and pets. I would do anything I could to help a friend. So I consider myself loving.
This project was a challenge becasue of how limited it was, being able to express these words in our own symbols is sluc a creative thing with so many options, so when I know it will be hard to carve into foam later I try not to make it so hard. So having to not go into as much detail as I would like to in my symbol was hard. I also found it a challenged cutting out my treble clef to create the negative space effect, becasue normally in music it's drawn a line so making it bubble bold was a challenge with all the swirls. By making it bolder made it easier to see the positive and negative space. It was important to show inside the swirls of the treble clef to show the space. without it it wouldn't correct.
Art - Week 5 Day 2: Final Stamp Design
On the bottom of this post is my final stamp design. The assignment was to manipulate negative and positive space to create a pleasing stamp that related to you.My process for creating this art was very complex. I began by creating complex designs with a ton of objects on the stamp. As I went on, I realized that did not suit me. I wanted to go for a more simple design after many failures because I am a simple person.
I decided that I would have to include my initials, which is what the bottom cutout is. Also, the "K" was meant to represent how much I text. I usually respond with very short replies, so I wanted to portray that while making it relatable to others. I purposely did not center the "K" so the eye would be bothered by it not in the middle. This seems like a bad approach, but I wanted to try and disrupt the normal patterns where objects are placed dead in the center.
Finally, I decided to cut out the space that was more prominent because it would be confusing if not. There would be no borders or backgrounds to support the simple design. If this were the case, it would not look like a complete piece of art. Orange construction paper was my choice. Orange is a very dynamic color. I thought the eye would try to focus more on the white space, which contains the imagery that describes me more. I also did not occur any complications when working with positive and negative spaces. There was no confusion for me. They are very clear skills.
