Subtractive Process:A subtractive process is a type of construction method where an artist removes materials from a larger mass to gradually reveal a sculpture created out of stone or other material.
It is also a process in colour photography where the colours are formed by a combination of cyan, yellow, and magenta lights.
1. "Carving" is the most common subtractive process.
To the top, we can see a totem pole being carved. Pieces of wood are being taken away to complete the sculpture.
To the top left, are examples of tools that carvers use.
To the middle, are finished totem poles that have used the subtractive process.
To the left, is an example of wood being carved away. It is a process of "taking away" rather than "adding" to form something.
To the top, is an example of fruit carving. It is another form of carving.
2. Subtractive colour systems is a technique used in photography, which is a part of design that corresponds with printing and such.
The subtractive process for the colour systems in photography starts off with white light, and then inks, filters, etc. between the viewers and the light source will subtract wavelengths from the light to give it colour.
To the bottom, we can see a clear example of CYM colours.
