Moving Silhouettes
ACTIVATING NEGATIVE SPACE, RHYTHM, MOVEMENT, REPETITION, UNITY
Silhouette-A silhouette is the
image of a person, animal, object
or scene represented as a solid
shape of a single color, usually
black, its edges matching the
outline of the subject.
Etienne de
Silhouette
French 1709 – 1767
French Finance Minister under Louis
XV
Penny pincher for the rich and wanted
to tax the rich to save and create
more money.
Controversy over his tactics got him
thrown out of office.
His name was associated as a way to
make fun of him and the rich.
 Silhouettes were cheap ways of having a portrait
made.
 The artist would trace the shadow created for a
light source. Then carefully cut out your image.
 Named silhouettes because of the cut in cost
associated with the finance minister. It was the
cheap thing to do.
Moving silhouettes
Positive & Negative Space-
Composition
Positive- the object or subject
Negative- the area around the
object or subject
 If you are seeing a vase, then you are
seeing the white area as the positive
space. The black areas become the
negative space. If you are seeing faces,
then you are seeing the black areas as
the positive space, and the white area as
the negative space.
The negative space is as important as the
positive.
Consider the amount of negative
space.
Consider what is happening in the
negative space.
 30 Examples of negative space used
creatively.
