Tamira Bell Negative Space

1. Negative space is the empty space where no objects are present. It mainly pertains to the background of a pice of art.

2. In my cut, I found the negative space by looking at my template. The dark shade on the template was the negative space. I found the negative space in my drawing by shading every thing that was the background as the negative space.

3. It helps an artist to see in negative space because negative space can separate the the medium or focus from the background. 

4. The negative and positive space does enhance the drawing because it helps put the focus on what the artist is trying to portray. The contrast in colors draws attention to the main focus.
