they only show the dark spaces on the picture...the shades make up the object, for example, most of lenin's pictures...or taggings they do on walls with a stencil.

I would say pop/stencil art. At least it looks like a stencil.
I've always just known of it as stencil art. That's what the artist I know who make it also call it.
It's mainly just a stencil piece.. Relief, perhaps? Wait..no 'relief' is for pottery. Hmm..
This might be wrong...but just in case you haven't thought of it...are you thinking of negative space? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_space
Sorry if this is totally off...I'm a musician not an artist but I really like art...I'm definitely no expert!
The first one looks like a silkscreen print (or serigraph); serigraphy is often used for posters. It uses, in fact, a type of stencil placed on a screen, through which the ink is pressed with a squeegee.
The other two are simple stencil prints.
Looks like a stencil or screenprint.
Pop art, I suppose. It's pretty cool, and not hard to do if you have a good photo editor like Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop.
The first one is either propaganda art or pop art.
The last 2 are stencil.
The first is more than likely a silk screen described as political propaganda, this existed decades before anyone ever coined the term "pop art." It has references to pop art only in appearance. The latter pieces are considered street art, stencil work, or guerilla art tactics.
