Negative Space-

a. Negative space is when there is an object made. The space in between and that surrounds the object is what is called the negative space.  The positive space is known as the object itself. 

b. The way that I found the negative space is by taking the actual object itself and tracing it. Once I traced the objects onto the paper I cut it out and than put it on a different color paper. That differentiated the negative and positive spaces within the photos. When doing my stool drawing I knew what the negative space was because the space surrounding it and in between the figure space was classified as negative. 

c. It helps an artist to see the negative space because it tells you what is part of the drawing object and what isn't. 

d. Seeing the negative space can enhace but as well dull the picture because it pops out the object more but the background is dulled.
