Cut Out Image//Sophia Paul
Negative space is the space that is around the art piece that can either bring out the art piece or bring out the background. Negative space can help form two "figures" depending on how the art it. The foreground might be in white, while the background is black and it is just up to interpretation on how see the artwork.
The way I found negative space in my picture is my using my artist eye. I looked at the image I had to cut out and saw that the blue sheet is the negative space. I am putting the pink sheet on top of it, and that makes the blue negative and helps form a picture with the pink sheets.
I think that it helps for an artist to see negative space, because seeing negative space can bring out the image. Negative space is just as important as positive space and the artist needs to know. The artist wants to make sure that background is not too big so the image in focus is not in focus. If there is not enough background, it will make the picture look busy and maybe that is not what the artist needs or wants.
I think seeing negative space in an image does enhance the image, because you can see more. You can see two different stories with both the negative space and the positive space. The negative space will also bring out the image and can help the viewer see the image even better and more clear.
