Negative space by Max Amar-Olkus

A. What is negative space (explain this concept to a fourth grader that has never heard of it)
Negative space is everything that the subject isn't. You are drawing the space around the subject to show what the subject is. 

B. Explain how you found negative space in 1. your cut out?, 2. in your stool drawing?
In my cut out finding the negative space was relatively easy because it is already separated by the dark gray and light gray. In my drawing I found the space by drawing the space in between the still life. 

C. Why does it help an artist to see in negative space?

It helps an artist to see the negative space because it gives their art another dimension and allows them to see the whole spectrum of artwork. 


D. Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings, why or why not
It does enhance drawings because it helps with shading and other aspects of the piece.
