William Derry: Negative Space Reflection
Negative space in art is the space between two images. Negative space is the space around an image. Furthermore negative space is taking an image and mirroring the image on another piece of paper. I found negative space in my cut out picture by looking for empty space in my drawing and trying to mirror the picture on the other piece of paper. In my still life drawing I found negative space by trying to see the two images as two complete different images. My still life drawing had an chair, three stools and a hand truck. The three objects were close together but I tried to draw them separately. I found space between them by doing that. It helps an artist to see negative space because it helps the artist get their point across. What I mean by this is the artist can make the drawing more realistic by having negative space in their drawing. Furthermore the artist wants the viewer of their drawing to focus on a certain thing in their drawing. I believe that seeing drawings in negative space enhances the drawing. The reason being is the drawing comes more to life and it makes the drawing better. Overall, negative space is important to making a great drawing.
