Negative Space

Negative Space is the extra space on a drawing. To make it you have to outline whatever object you are making.

    B. Explain how you found negative space in 1. your cut out?, 2. in your still life drawing?You find the negative space in the cutout, by cutting out the dark parts on the cut out, and pasting the outline on one side of your paper, and putting the solid part on the other side of the paper. You find negative space in the still life drawing, by outlining an object, then coloring in all the space around to make the object look a certain color.

Seeing negative space helps an artist, because it opens their eyes to more details, and the shapes with be realistic.
