Additive Principle of drawing

Subtractive Principle of drawing

Centerline- finding the middle of a square

Proportional division- flipping objects to other sides

Additive Approach

 you add other shapes onto others to make new shapes

Subtractive Approach

 You take large shapes and carve into them subtracting from the shape

-this requires you to draw through shapes to find the other side-
