    The document describes four types of mark making using different tools that create contrast between the carved and uncarved areas. Each mark making example identifies the tool used, contrast created by the black and white areas, and whether the carved or uncarved part represents the positive or negative space. The document concludes by explaining the difference between contrast, which is the opposition between elements like black and white, and positive/negative space, where the positive space is the subject or object and negative space is the background.

    DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONTRAST
    AND POSITIVE/NEGATIVE SPACE

    While contrast means an opposite between


    elements or features (such as black and
    white), positive/negative space holds a
    relatively different definition. Positive space
    is the subject of the art, such as an object or a
    person. On the other hand, negative space is
    the background of the said subject, usually
    set in one solid shade.
