Negative Space

Negative space could be defined as the space around the object, not the borders of the object itself. In my cut out, we can recognize the negative space as the purple part that is around the bird. Seeing negative space is very helpful for an artist because it allows to make the difference between the object and what’s around. Then, the artist can play with these elements to make a confusion. I also think that negative space enhance drawings because it makes a difference with the “classical drawings” and create the surprise while seeing what’s represented on another angle.
