Today I took care of college payments and financial aid stuff. It was relatively easy; which makes me think I did something wrong. I will make phone calls and take care of everything tomorrow, but for now I have a stomach ache and need to rest. It was a big day for me. I woke up at 3 am, went for a hike at 7:30 am, then went to a doctors appointment all the way out in New Jersey, came home for 5 minutes and went all the way out to birdsboro for rock climbing. I was very pleased with my performance in rock climbing. I haven't climbed since the summer and thought I wasn't going to be able to get up at 5.7 or this 5.8 climb, which were always struggles climbs for me. To my surprise I got up them quite well and was using foot techniques to take away the pressure I was putting on my arms. Overall, this day was quite splendid. I got a good amount of physical activity and got my educational shit done (somewhat). HOORAY FOR TODAY!

I love my tailer.  Today, as she stuck pins into the bottom of my dress to mark where she would cut, she told me how ugly and slutty the other girls' prom dresses were.  There's nothing like a stranger's opinion to make you feel completely confident!

I watched my twins brothers all day today. It was the worst....

            ¿Que piensas cuando ves un chaval caminando por la calle con moratones y cicatrices? Cree que el estaba jugando con sus amigos o que se callo corriendo.  Que hicieras si te dijera que el es una victima de el abuso infantil.  Muchos de los niños que son abusados no le dicen a otros adultos. Estoy es porque tu necesita reconocer los índicos de el abuso.  Ellos pueden tener heridas inexplicables.  Otros son…

 

-       El niño no vay al la casa temprano.

-       Crueldad a sus “amigos”

-       Pierden la capacidad de hablar con otros que no son sus padres

-       Su forma de ser se ve sucio y descuidado

-       El comportamiento  del chaval es cambiado drásticamente

o   Problemas de memoria

o   Miedo de la escuridad

o   Obedece sus padres pero de miedo

-       Tienen malas  notas en el colegio

o   Pierde mucha escuela

 

¿Porque tantas personas hacen  la vista gorda cuando ven evidencia de abuso? No es raro cuando esto pasa. Muchas veces no denuncian porque no tienen prueba suficiente.

It sure was a happy Easter for me and I bet for any of the other Philly sports fans whom enjoyed when all 3 of our major sports teams won their games. And I am talking about how the 76ers stopped the sweep from the Miami Heat, the Flyers escaping elimination from the Stanley Cup Playoffs with a crucial game 6 win over Buffalo, and the Phillies having four wins over the Padres. Also it was a good spring break for me because I helped my tournament Baseball team win on Monday with a Walk-Off home run in the 10th inning.

A. Negative space is the outline of everything you see in the picture, but only filling in the background color.

A. Negative space is the outline of everything you see in the picture, but only filling in the background color.
B. I found negative space in my cut out by the pink because the pink part was the back paper on which I put the cutout on. I found the negative space in my stool drawing by ignoring the outlines and shading in the empty spaces and the parts that I know weren't any objects.
C. It helps an artist to see in negative space because it trains their eyes to not only focus on the details inside the object, but also the details on the outline of it.
D. Seeing in negative space doesn't enhance the drawing because all you see is the outline of the object without any details.

A. Negative space is drawing what there isn't. for instance, if drawing a pen in negative space, then you draw the space around the pen, not the pen itself.
B. I found negatives in the cut-out by cutting out the shapes in one paper, then pasting the opposite color on the opposite colored paper. In the drawing, I found that drawing the outline of the stool, then shading the areas outside of the lines worked well.
C. It helps an artist to look at negative space drawing because it helps them notice things that they didn't notice before. 

​Negative and positive space is very simple when you think about it. When you draw a picture and you have spaces between the actual main points in the drawing so then you have positive and negative spaces.
I found negative and positive space in the the cut out and in my stool drawing because when you see the actual lines and then the spaces between the actual lines then you see the negative and positive spaces.
It helps an artist to see postive and negative spaces because they see the main points if the art and then the spaces between the actual art.

Negative space is the part of the drawing that is uncolored and the outline

I found it in my cut out because I can see the outline of the owl and the stools

It helps because you can see the outline and see it better to make it easier

It helps because you can envision it easier

Life is good. I can't complain 

What is negative space?
Negative space is the empty space between objects, like the space between the cup and the handle.

Explain how you found negative space in 1. your cut out? 2. In your stool drawing?
1. I found it in the cut out after ms. Hull explained how it's basically just cutting it out, and flipping it over onto the other side. 2. I found it in my stool drawing by looking in between the objects and basically just looking wherever i saw orange (there was an orange paper hanging behind the display)

Why does it help an artist to see in negative space?
It helps an artist to get a better understanding of regular drawings if you also see in negative space. When you see in negative space you don't only just see the shapes of the objects you see the shapes between the objects, which enhances the drawing and makes the drawing not so one dimensional.

Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings, who or why not?
I think that seeing in negative space does enhance drawings because you notice more things about the drawing. Someone who doesn't see in negative space would just see a stool, whereas someone who does see in negative space would see the empty space between the legs of the stool and the metal loop around them. It just lets you see more than just the object.

negative space is the area behind the actual drawing. I found the negative space in my cut out by first cutting out a drawing. then i but the part i cut out onto another paper, so that way i can see the negative space. Also i found the negative space in my drawling by coloring the area around the drawling. Which is the negative space.

It help's artist to see the negative space because we have to see whats behind the actual picture. Seeing in negative space enhance's drawing because if you can draw whats behind the actual picture you can make it more realistic. 

​Negative space is the space through and around the objects being drawn. Negative space is any space in the picture that is not the object.

I was able to draw the negative space in my drawing by looking at the space around the object and through the open space of the objects that I was drawing. I found the t negative space  in my cut out by looking at the shading in the drawing and also thinking that if the object was sitting in front of me what would be the actual object and what would be the space around the object.

It helps the artist to see the negative space because it gives the picture a realistic look. Also it helps the artist to see that if the wanted to shade some areas in their drawing it helps them to see what to shade.

See in the negative space enhances the drawing because it shows that the drawing is not just 2 dimensional it gives the object a very detailed three dimensional look.

Negative Space Drawing- Stools:
 


Negative Space Drawing- Various Objects:



Negative Space is simply an area of an image that isn't filled with objects or shapes. In most cases, it is ignored. Making a negative drawing helps with observation because when creating it, you must concentrate on solely the background. 

In the cutout, it was easy to notice the negative space after you have the necessary pieces. The parts that aren't occupied by the pieces, are considered the negative space. This project was more simple because it consisted of only cutting and pasting pieces; however, the drawings had to be sketched out. In the drawings, I focused on the background behind the objects. Having the orange paper set up as a backdrop assisted me throughout my process. 

Noticing negative space, allows an artist to develop observation skills. It helps an artist to focus on the main image and then go back later and add details. 

Seeing in negative space enhances drawings because it allows the viewer to establish what to focus on. 

A) I think negative space helps artists identify the back ground from the foreground, and think of them as separate things instead of one picture.
B) 1. In the cutouts, the negative spaces color changed. 2. In the stool drawing i made the foreground positive and the background negative.
C) It helps because you can think of the drawing as two layers.
D) Yes, since it gives the artist a better understanding of foreground and background.

What is negative space?- Negative space in the drawing is the space that surround the picture that is not occupied or used.

How I find the negative space in my drawing?- I found the negative space by looking at the positive space that surround my picture and looking at the space that surround my drawing.

My cutout in my drawing shows a tree and the positive space on one side and the negative space that surrounds the positive space on the other side resulting showing the meaning in the picture of negative and positive space.

In my stool drawing I show the negative space surrounding my stool drawing my shading in the space around it.

A artist seeing negative space in the drawing shows the artist to see the true shape of what their drawing and they see what shapes negative space.

Seeing negative benefits your drawing because if shows you the true shape or form of the object their drawing and the negative space surrounding it shows what shapes or shadows it makes in the drawing.

The space around and between an image 
i found negative space in my drawings by seeing how i filled in the spaces between to form an image. 
It helps an artist see an image because it shows the an image from the spaces between and how the image form it's artistic shape.
For me in a way it does because it let me see another side of a drawling, but when it comes to drawling negative space that's when it confuse me.

 

A. Negative space is when you draw the space around a object instead of the object itself.
B. 1)I found negative space in my cut out by cutting out the spaces around the spaces that made up my picture. 2) I found negative space in my stool drawing by drawing the space around the stools from my view.
C. A artist needs to see negative space because, it shows them how things work together.
D. Yes, because it help you with perspective and spacing.
