Hohenstein Art Negative Space

A. Negative space is the space around an object. So if there was a shadow it would be everything but the shadow.

B. I found the negative space by outlining the object in my stool drawing. This allowed me to see where the stool was and where the negative space was. For my cutout I found the negative space by creating a mirror image.

C. It helps an artist to see what is there and what isn't there. To look beyond just what you see with your eye.

D. No, because if you see in only negative space you can't see the details of the object itself.
