Bryanna's Negative Space

A. What is negative space (explain this concept to a fourth grader that has never heard of it)

Negative space is the space between object/parts in a picture

B. Explain how you found negative space in 1. your cut out?, 2. in your stool drawing?

In my cut out I found my negative space by separating my darker areas on my paper to my light areas. Then using construction paper to mimic  that outline. Once I did that I just placed the cut out pieces on one side and the whole pieces on the other. On my chair drawing I just found the space in between the chairs, stool, and caution sign.

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

It helps the artist determine what perspective the picture needs to be drawn from. (bird’s eye, eye level, and worm’s eye

D. Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings, why or why not
