Week 3 - Day 2 - blog - negative/positive space - cut out

20170428_125313.jpg

Negative space in art, is space around the object/Subject. Negative made you focus on the background instead of the object/subject.

I found my negative space in my cut out by looking at my first cut out then basically flipping it on the other side. You can see the darker background which is negative and the lighter background, which is positive.

Negative space can help an artist by making illusions. For example, you can see two different things in one. I think negative space is good for illusions, seeing in different perspective.

Seeing in negative space does and does not enhance the drawings. I say that because negative space does take away some details, but also you can make negative space in as a illusion.
