Negative Space Drawings
- A. What is negative space (explain this concept to a fourth grader that has never heard of it)
- = Negative space is something that is an illusion of something. It's when the surrounded space helps a object to reflect even though it's not meant to be drawn out. The use of negative space is a key element of artistic composition.
- B. Explain how you found negative space in 1. your cut out?, 2. in your stool drawing?
- = I have found my negative space in my first drawing while I was cutting out the squares of the trees. I started to notice that one side is going to reflect another if I cut the opposite of each other and keep the cutout papers. Then glue it to the opposite sides with it's opposite face and it'll be shown as negative space drawing. Then in my second drawing, I have shaded the full page except keeping the filled where I wanted to reflect a bottle. I drew it in some ways that no one notices its a bottle but the shade helps it notice that it's a bottle without actually drawing it out.
- C. Why does it help an artist to see in negative space?
- =It helps an artist to use negative space because they can play with other's illusion and make many things out of it. They show that negative space can be drawn out where other possibilities aren't present.
- D. How is negative space useful in creating art?
- = Negative space is useful creating art because sometimes it can show two drawings inside of one another. They can show what other things can be meant in a drawing. The artist can include many things inside one drawing and the viewer can view it in different perspective but still will find the same or different. That['s the power of negative space.
