Negative Space

Posted by Nomi Martin-Brouillette in Art - 9 - Hull on

A. Negative space is the parts of a picture/drawing/painting etc. that is not filled with an object or person. If it were compared to a freezer, it would be the air, and the non-negative space would be the food.

B. In my cut out, I found the negative space by cutting out the objects, and then pasting them on one side, while a pasted the left over parts on the other side. For my drawing I simply drew the air, or the things that weren't there.

C. It helps artists to see in negative space because it helps with depth, and the outline of the drawing. It helps the artist create a clearer picture of their subject. 

D. Seeing in negative spaces drawings because it adds definition, depth, and clarity to the piece
