Defining Negative Space

You can find Negative Space in my cut out thanks to the contrast of Yellow and Black.  By using these colors, you can clearly see the shape of an owl, which is how Negative Space is supposed to be used.  

By using Negative Space, an artist can more easily define what the subject of their picture, drawing, and/or painting is.   This “defining” is not limited to the artist, however, for it also helps the observer more easily define what or who the subject is.  

I personally believe that Negative Space does in fact enhance a drawing, mainly for the fact that it makes the image pop. When you can clearly define what is the negative and space is, the artist and the observer can more easily tell what the artist was trying to depict. It's also just a really interesting and fun way to make art. Using Negative/Positive Space takes a lot more intelligence than just drawing something which is what really grabs my interest in this technique.
