Negative Space Reflection

A. What is negative space.
Negative space is the area of a picture that is blank. The negative space doesn't have any detail, it's just the silhouette.

    B. Explain how you found negative space in 1. your cut out?, 2. in your still life drawing? 
I found negative space in my cut out by using the template to trace. I found it in my still life by drawing the items, erasing any detail and then shading the spaces in-between.

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

By focusing on the spaces in between objects, you can more clearly see the negative space.
    D. Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings, why or why not?

Yes, because it let's you see what you are drawing, painting etc. in it's simplest form. The better you understand what you are replicating through art, the better your art will turn out to be.
