Negative Space-Dylan McKeon

Posted by Dylan McKeon in Art - Freshman - Hull on

​    A. What is negative space (explain this concept to a fourth grader that has never heard of it)
Negative Space is the space around the main subject of the drawling. In the case of my still life drawling the negative space is the shaded part that is around the objects.

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

For my cut out drawling I found the negative space by using the dark shaded parts of the templet as the negative space and the light shaded parts of the templet as the positive space. For my still life drawling I shaded in the spaces around the drawling.

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

It helps an artist see the shape of the object and helps them prepare before drawling the details of the object.

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

It helps enhance drawings by letting me see the space around the subject which makes it easier to draw the shape of the object.
