Negative Space

Posted by Lisa Kang in Art - 9 - Hull on

​A. What is negative space?

Negative space is the space around an object. It is like a silhouette but the other way around.


B. Explain how you found negative space in 1. your cut out?, 2. in your stool drawing?

I found negative space in my cut out by cutting out all the different shapes out of a half sheet of paper and then I glued them on a full sheet and put all the negatives on one side and all the positives on the other side. I found negative space in my stool drawing by outlining the objects and the shading in the area outside of it.


C. Why does it help an artist to see in negative space?

It helps an artist because it shows them the difference between light and dark.

D. Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings, why or why not

I think that seeing negative space does enhance drawings because it shows contrast and it makes the drawings look more complicated and interesting.
