A. Negative space is the parts of the picture where there is no object. It's like the empty spaces in pictures that make up the back round.

B. For both mini projects I just looked at all the places where there were no objects. Like with the cut out I looked at the back round for the negative space. For the stool drawing I just looked at where none of the chairs and signs were.

C. If an artist can see the negative space then they can make a picture look mirrored, reflective, upside down, etc. They can understand the picture better.

D. If you can see negative space you can understand the drawing better and be able to see hidden pictures as well if there are any.

A. Negative space is all of the parts of a picture that aren't the frames of each thing in the picture. When looking at a picture, you first see the lines that make a shape look the way that it is. With negative space as the most attracting part of a picture, the things that you wouldn't see first in a negative space picture would be seen first.
B. I found negative space in my cut out by separating dark colors from the lighter colors. In my stool drawing, I took every empty space I could find in my frame and instead of sketching it out, I turned it inside out by filling everything out with black instead of leaving it white.
C. It helps to see negative space because it helps to realize what isn't there is still important in a drawing. It helps us recognize how to see shadows, and other concepts in art such as these.
D. Yes, negative space enhances drawings because it shows viewers what's in the picture that might not always be plain to the human eye. So, when there is lots of negative space in a picture or drawing, it should be emphasized in some way or another.

A. Negative space is the area surrounding an object. In other words, it is all of the space that is not being occupied by a physical thing.

B. I found negative space in my cut out by simply using the stencil that Mrs. Hull gave us to show where the house/fence was by alternating the colors of construction paper. For my stool drawing, I drew the outline of the shapes that I saw, mostly focusing on the space between the legs of the stools.

C. I think that it helps an artists to see negative space because it shows depth. It also shows the basic outline of shapes, which is extremely important when someone is drawing.

D. I think that seeing negative space does enhance drawings because it makes sure that you have the right amount of distance between objects and it allows you to show depth without actually drawing the actual object, but the space around it.
