​What is Negative Space?
Negative space is the area in a piece of artwork that isn't taking up space. Its the space around and between the main subject.
How did I find negative space in my cut out.
I knew where to cut the negative space out in the owl picture because of the color. The dark spots in the picture indicated it wasn't apart of the owl. 
Why does it help an artist to see negative space? Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings, why or why not
negative space is a way for an object to pop out more in artwork. It offers a great level of contrast, especially in light and dark colors.
