A. What is negative space (explain this concept to a fourth grader that has never heard of it) Negative space is the space around an object in artwork.

B. Explain how you found negative space in 1. your cut out?, 2. in your stool drawing? In the cutout, everything that was dark and made up the spaces in between the art, makes the negative space.

C. Why does it help an artist to see in negative space? You can see more of the art than just an outline.

D. Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings, why or why not yes, more of the drawing stands out.
