Negative Space Cut Out Reflection
Negative Space surrounds objects. For example, if you draw a lollipop, the lollipop is not a part of the negative space, the space surrounding the lollipop is. If a dog is standing in a field, the dog is the positive space, and the grass around it is the negative space.
In my cutout, there was a tree standing in a field in front of the sky. In terms of space, I decided that the tree was the positive space, and the sky was the negative space.
It helps for an artist to see in negative space in order to easily determine what the subject is, and what the background is.
It depends. If the artist wants to put emphasis on their subject, it helps to learn how to draw in negative space. Same goes if they want the background to be emphasized. But, negative space does not matter if the artist wants the whole picture to be seen.
