Des O'Donovan: Negative and Positive Space

In my cut out I found negative space in my cut-out by cutting out the dark gray parts of the template and making those shapes one color on one side, and the other color on the other. I did the same with the lighter parts for positive space, and made sure that the negative, and positive space shapes were opposite color on either side.

It helps an artist to se in negative space because then the artist can separate the object from the rest of the space. It also helps make the object stand out. 

Seeing in negative and positive space does enhance a drawing because it makes the drawing stand out. The positive space stands out from the negative space.
