A. Negative space is the space around and between the person, place, thing, or idea in the image. It does not include the actual subject of the picture.

B. I found the negative space of the bird by cutting around and between it. I didn't include the eyes or anything. The point was to find the space around and between it. 

C. It helps an artist to see in negative space because it defines the boundaries of the subject and makes it easier to draw. 

D. Looking in negative space does help because it shows the outline of the subject and makes it easier for the artist to see and draw. once the outline is straight, the artist can then go on to positive space.
