Design Problem 2 : Black and White

The Zen concept that a bowl's essence is the part that is "missing" corresponds to the graphic concept of negative space. Apply this idea by using only negative shapes to interpret three of the following subjects visually: clouds, whipped cream, Moby Dick, Jaws, sugar, ghost, salt, polar bear, flour, smoke, vanilla ice-cream cone, and steam. The subjects themselves should not be drawn; only the surrounding negative space and possibly areas in shadow should be addressed, and only in the color black. As a design consideration, the images may be cropped to show only a portion of the subjects. Use the smaller areas for preliminary drawings and the larger areas for final executions.
