Negative Space

1. Negative space is the background space around and between an object in a picture. Usually the negative space is white and the positive space is white. 
2. To find negative space, you have to cut the positive space part and fold the paper to see if the sides are symmetrical. If you are drawing a picture, you have to draw the first image, color the background a dark color, and color the positive a different lighter color. 
3. Its helpful for artists to be able to see negative space because it makes things easier to see. 
4. Negative space is useful because it makes pictures pop and catches people's eyes.
