Negative Space
A. What is negative space (explain this concept to a fourth grader that has never heard of it)
Negative space is basically the part of drawing that is left after you draw it. It is the shapes that are made from the blank spaces.
B. Explain how you found negative space in 1. your cut out?, 2. in your still life drawing?
I found negative space by looking at what was part of the actual opaque object, such as the red part of the chair, or the lines of the window frames in the cut out. Then I looked at the parts that i saw through the holes of the opaque object, such as the holes in the chair, or the glass parts of the windows in the house.
C. Why does it help an artist to see in negative space?
Seeing in negative space can help an artist because it can allow them to see their drawings in different ways, and play with what the viewer sees, sometimes allowing it to be two different things.
D. Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings, why or why not?

I think seeing in negative space does enhance drawings, because it can give them more depth and let people see them in multiple ways.
