  A. What is negative space (explain this concept to a fourth grader that has never heard of it)?

 Negative space is the space that is between and around an object. Usually negative space can be expressed in two colors. There are no details given in negative space when looking at the object or background, but only an outline.

    B. Explain how you found negative space in 1. your cut out?, 2. in your still life drawing?

I found the negative space by paying attention to the color differences. The image that I cut out only had two colors. The background was black while the object (in this case a tree), was a light grey. You couldn't see the details of a tree except a simple outline. In the still life drawing, I created the outline based on the lack of detail the object in a negative space drawing requires. The object needed to be identified, but doesn't need the detail.

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

It can help the artist indentify the object they are focusing on and pay more attention to it.


  D. Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings, why or why not?

They do in fact. Seeing negative space can bring out the main subject of a drawing, especially if they were originally just blending in.

Drawing Negative Space

Posted by Joseff Filamor in Art - Freshman - Hull on

Negative Space is drawing the outline of an object without drawing the detail in it.
I found negative space by first drawing the outline of each object I saw. For my negative space cut out project, I chose to do a tree. I cut out the half of the tree then I used the excess cut outs for the other side. 

Negative Space is important because it helps the artist know what he is drawing even without the detail. Even without the detail, he can still make the shape similar to the object. It helps see what the actual shape looks like, giving it creativity from another point of view.

Negative Space Cut Out Project

Posted by Stephanie Dyson in Art - Freshman - Hull on

Bringing you yet another project in Ms. Hull's 9th grade art class, we studied negative space. Negative space is simply the shape(s) that an object leaves in space when it is removed. We first sketched a negative space still life in three vignettes (seen below). This was the precursor to a simple negative space cut out project.

A. What is negative space (explain this concept to a fourth grader that has never heard of it) 

Negative space is the shape that an object leaves in space when it is removed from that very space. If you were to place a ball in the middle of the floor, the sphere that is left when the space is shaded around is the negative space. 

B. Explain how you found negative space in 1. your cut out?, 2. in your still life drawing?

In my cut out (seen below), the negative space was simply the inverse of the pieces I had already cut out and pasted onto my second sheet of paper. It was like placing the handmade pieces of a jigsaw puzzle back together. When sketching the still life, I simply drew the outline of the shapes I saw and shaded around them, erasing for finer lines where it was necessary. 

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

It helps to see negative space so that the artist has a better understanding of the shapes that comprise his or her work. 


D. Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings, why or why not?

I certainly think it does. I think it's a good skill to have with any for of visual art because, when you practice negative space, it helps you see the shapes that are the foundation of your piece. Getting the basic shapes of a drawing can really help enhance the final turnout of the piece.

Negative space cut out.





Negative space is when you draw everything except the object. The object becomes the background and every thing else is shaded.


I found negative space in my drawing by by changing my perspective to see the shapes formed by the edges of the objects. In my cut out I just alternated the layers so that they matched up.

Artists use negative space to create interesting and different drawings they also use it in things like prints and stamps. It's helpful to be able to see things from many different perspectives.

Drawing in negative space can enhance drawings by giving a new perspective to the viewer and challenging them to see the object for what it is.

Negative/Positive Space - Andrew Roberts

Posted by Andrew Roberts in Art - Freshman - Hull on

Reflection:

A:  What is negative space?  Negative space is basically the outline of an object or objects, with no detail inside, and is background which also has no detail.  There are two colors:  one color is where there is something, the other is where there is not something.

B:  Explain how you found negative space in 1. your cut out?, 2. in your still life drawing?  1:  The cut out was more of a positive/negative space combination.  The negative/positive boundary was used to show detail.  Being symmetrical, the drawing had every part negative, but half of the parts were on one side and the other half on the other.  2:  In my still life, I found negative space to be anything that was not the background.  The stools, the chair, and the other thingy were all white and everything else was black (I did not have time to shade everything).

C:  Why does it help an artist to see in negative space?  It helps an artist in the way they see a scene or portrayal.  It mainly helps one understand what is the foreground and what is the background.

D:  Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings, why or why not?  Yes, it does.  When one knows what is the background and what is the foreground, it is easier to know what to make the viewer focus on and what to kind of fade away.  When you can see what needs to be seen, oyu can make it more prevalent.

What is negative space (explain this concept to a fourth grader that has never heard of it).
Negative space is the area around the object. If you have apple against a white background, what you can see of the white background if the negative space.

Explain how you found negative space in 1. your cut out?, 2. in your still life drawing?

In my cutout, I matched the positive space to one color and the negative space to another, which helped me block the spaces and know where to cut. In my still lives I started with an object that I could use as a measurement tool and off of that main object I would create the other objects.

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

The artist can then define their artwork and look at it and create it in different ways.     

Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings, why or why not?

I feel that negative space makes drawings look cool and more professional. They add something special to drawings.

Final Perspective drawing

I did not know how easy it was to create such defined images that look real. Manipulating lines and things of that such makes things look incredibly real and I felt very accomplished that I drew it. I understand how people see things more. In doing one point perspective I can find ways to draw objects were you can see and arial view of them. If I were do redo this project I would try to take more initiative and draw some of the artwork on the ceiling tiles and things of that such. My advice to one who has never done one point perspective before is to use your artist eye as much as possible and be as diligent as possible with whatever it is you are drawing because it is only hard if you over think it. My ruler, because I could make straight lines and have neat orthogonal lines.

Final Perspective Drawing

Posted by Jamison Turner in Art - Freshman - Hull on

​One thing I learned this marking period is how to draw three-dimensional pictures that actually look nice.  This made my drawings look a lot more accurate and definitely better looking.  I think if I did this assignment again I would definitely add more detail to the walls, floor, and the ceiling.  My advice to beginners is to listen to Ms. Hull and look carefully at the slide show she provides.  My most useful source of information was Ms. Hull because she was always there to answer our questions and she was the person who made our slide show.

Final Perspective Drawing

Posted by Daniel Ross in Art - Freshman - Hull on

What is one thing that your learned specifically that you did not know before.


I did not know there was something called an orthogonal line.

How did leaning this thing make your drawings better.

Because I knew how to draw a room in 3D perspective it did not look like a 5 year old drew it.

If you did this assignment again, what would you do differently?

I would put more time into the windows.

d. What is your advice to someone who has never drawn a one point perspective drawing before?

Dont worry about any mark and making mistakes.

e. What resource helped you the most and why?

Ms. Hull... She knew how to teach us and she was very helpful. She corrected us when we made mistakes.

Final Perspective Drawing

​a. What is one thing that your learned specifically that you did not know before.

One thing that I learned specifically that I did not know before was the importance of the 'orthogonal line', in one point perspective all of the lines created must all line up to the orthogonal because it keeps all of them even and in perspective. 

b. How did leaning this thing make your drawings better.

Learning this overall made my project much better, because it set a goal for me, and it was easier because I then understood the concept of one point perspective. 

c. If you did this assignment again, what would you do differently?

If I was to do this assignment again I would manage my time properly and try to add more detail overall to the drawing. 

d. What is your advice to someone who has never drawn a one point perspective drawing before?

My advice would to be to try your hardest, and I would also tell them not to be afraid to make mistakes because those are what really make your project better, and in the words of Ms. Hull, "Break down your learning walls" because you grow so much and have a lot to reflect on when that action is done. 

e. What resource helped you the most and why?

The resources that helped me most were Ms. Hull, Wynn Geary, and the moodle page because they all were there to help me and I feel that without them I would not fully understand one point perspective.
