This year, an aboriginal visiting artist came to visit the St Hilda's year 7 and 8 students for two weeks.
The artist showed us how to draw our selves using the negative spaces making our figure drawing more accurate.

First, you draw a frame around the figure so that three parts of your body is touch the frame edge.
Next, you block out any excess detail so that the negative spaces are clear.
Then, you turn the picture upside down so that you are no longer thinking that you are drawing yourself, instead you are drawing the negative spaces.
Lastly, you begin drawing.

Once you have finished drawing the negative spaces, you can turn the drawing right way up and the draw in the inside details.
