Negative Space Reflection

What is negative space? It is the space around an object or person in a piece of art. The main/prominent part of the photo or drawing is referred to as positive space. Focusing on negative space creates a different way for viewers to see the art. In my art I found the negative space by first cutting on every line in the template into the red construction paper. I then took out all of the pieces that were in the gray and put them to the side. It was helpful to see the negative space in my work because it really defined the other parts of the tree and made them pop. Seeing in negative space allows an artists to make their art balanced between negative and positive space. For me seeing in negative space makes art more appealing and it becomes easier to focus on specific parts of a piece of art.
