Negative Space Art Piece

Posted by Mingxue Zheng in Art - 9 - Hull on Sunday, April 22, 2012 at 6:10 pm

What is negative space? 
Negative space are areas in your drawings that are not the drawing itself. It is basically the spaces that are excluded by the structure of the drawings. 

Explain how you find the negative space in your cut out and your stool drawing. 

In my cut out I find the negative space by cutting out the template and then imagine the parts that is not needed in the cut out. Basically you just separate the black and gray parts of the template. In the stool drawing, I first draw the whole picture and then erase the lines that intersects to make a silhouette. The areas that are not within the lines of my drawing is the negative space.

Why does it help an artist to see in negative space? 
The artist will see the outer structure of the drawing they made and enhance their skills by making the objects that draw more proportional and more realistic. The negative space also give the artist a sense of how much empty space is in his or her the actual drawing. 

Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings?
Knowing the negative space in your drawings enhance your drawings' angle (is there too much empty space does it look awkward?) and also their structure (is the stool's legs straight?).

Negative space by Max Amar-Olkus

​A. What is negative space (explain this concept to a fourth grader that has never heard of it)
Negative space is everything that the subject isn't. You are drawing the space around the subject to show what the subject is. 

B. Explain how you found negative space in 1. your cut out?, 2. in your stool drawing?
In my cut out finding the negative space was relatively easy because it is already separated by the dark gray and light gray. In my drawing I found the space by drawing the space in between the still life. 

C. Why does it help an artist to see in negative space?

It helps an artist to see the negative space because it gives their art another dimension and allows them to see the whole spectrum of artwork. 


D. Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings, why or why not
It does enhance drawings because it helps with shading and other aspects of the piece.
