Negative Space

A.

Negative space is the area between the things in the drawing or photograph. In this photo it would be the purple on the left and the green on the right. As you can see it is not the image that I want you to see but it is the space around it.

B.

I found it by looking at the object, the owl in this case, and then paying attention to the space that is not the point of interest. I then cut out that area and the inside, the positive space, out of the purple.

C.

Negative space is important because it can help you highlight certain areas and it can also allow you to hide images inside an image. It can help us see an image more clearly. It also helps you show two things in one.

D.

Yes, because it can bring compensation to the image and help contrast the subject(s) of the image. You can use negative space to highlight positive space and make your subject(s) clear.
