Negative/Positive Space- cut out
For the image that I cut out and put together I was trying to create positive and negative space. As you can see on the right side black is being used to create negative space. The slight pink is positive because it's the lighter shade. On the other hand, on the left pink is being used more creating more positive space. To summarize, the left side has more positive space because there is more pink; the right side has more negative space because it has more black.
Positive and negative space helps artist because it creates contrast. The darker shade adds detail and depth. Without detail you wouldn't be able to tell what the image is. It enhances the image because if you mess up it would very noticeable. In my image you can tell that it's not as neat/clean, so it's important to take your time cutting.
