So for the last project with my six week 7th grade class I had them look at the negative spaec around a shape and fill in the paper around it. I found this lesson on
http://www.rapides.k12.la.us/bolton/Art/Art%20Department/negative%20space.htm . The teacher on this site had a couple of different ways of doing the negative shapes but I liked the one where the page is just in black and white and the students use doodles, zentangles and graffitii to fill in the positive space around the object.
