Negative/Positive space - cut out

A. What is negative space (explain this concept to a fourth grader that has never heard of it)

To easily see negative space you need to use two color to tell one from another, for instance if you look at the image above the part with the most space is the negative space, so the black, and whatever pops out so the green would be the positive space. If you want the negative space if you look at the streets and traffic would be the streets, and the positive space would be the cars.

B. Explain how you found negative space in your cut out? In my cut out you can find negative space by looking at which color is dominant, and has a taste of tension. The black appears more, and if you look at the middle it is jointed.  

C. Why does it help an artist to see in negative space? It helps the artist visually see the tree, so that the image is not overcrowded, space ables your eyes to stay focus.

D. Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings, why or why not? Yes, it helps have a guide that is strict enough to prevent mistakes, but has enough flexibility when it comes to you imagination as an artist. Negative space is a healthy guideline, which will enhance the respect and dignity art work needs.
