  • A. What is negative space (explain this concept to a fourth grader that has never heard of it)
Negative space is the space in a drawing for which is known as the empty space around a specific message that the author chose to show.

  • B. Explain how you found negative space in 1. your cut out?, 2. in your stool drawing?
I found the negative space in the first drawing (cut out) by placing the stuff that I knew had to be there. When I say that, I mean that I placed a mirror image for both sides of the drawing. I decided what was missing to complete the image completely and from there found my negative space. For the second drawing (stool) I found my negative space by seeing all the space surrounding the stool, the empty space. 
  • C. Why does it help an artist to see in negative space?
It helps an artist to see in negative space because, there is some sort of story clearly in any photo. Sure not all the space is completed by the drawing, but this makes it more real. This allows the viewer to find the complete photo in real life but on paper. It's extraordinary for the viewer and exactly what the artist would want. 
  • D. How is negative space useful in creating art?
Negative space is useful when creating art because it allows the full model of the photo to be shown to the viewer. It allows the viewer to live in that moment, to find their complete story through one small drawing. 

Cut-Out Project

​In all likelihood, this is where it ends. The train's last stop is here, and its grand central station has a way of making me feel small. This is where Mrs. Hull realizes I'm legitimately incapable. 
In previous works, I had successfully failed to make it good enough to be good, but it was still strange enough to look original. 
This time around, I had no such luck. 
This cut-out is the construction-paper embodiment of dysfunction. It is the end of my masquerading as a functional artist, and the dawn of my shining ineptitude. Anyone who gazes at these abysmal products would immediately see the clearly guessed, poorly outlined cutouts; they'd see the horribly-colored image of what never, not even on a good day, could appear to be a stool; they would see my terrible skills and they would cry. 
Actual artists are spinning in their grave. 
My mother majored in Art History. After she sees the terrifying contents of this blog post, I may be forced into finding a new mother.
It was apparent from the start that any artistic visions that had the misfortune to fumble into my brain would never be manifested in any objectively "good" form, but maybe I could at least make real things look mildly real. Or, maybe, I couldn't.
SPOILER: I couldn't.

Negative space is the part of a drawing or photograph that isn't focused on. For example: if the positive space in a picture of a ladder is the ladder itself, the negative space would be the space between the rungs. For another example: this negative space cutout is negative space in my artistic career.

Using the definition of negative space, it was easy to discover where negative space was, or what it was meant to be. I recognized the spaces between the parts of the stools and ladder as negative; I recognized the pink in the right side of the cutout as negative and the black on the left side as negative. My projects don't reflect that gained knowledge, however: No matter the reader's grasp on negative space, it must certainly be difficult to ascertain that I had ascertained that which we were meant to ascertain.

Seeing in negative space helps an artist (don't read as "seeing in negative space helps me," for reasons that have, at this point, been made obvious) to see negative space, as it can better define the focus of a project. I clearly didn't utilize it perfectly; in fact, my art seems to have no focus.

Negative space is useful in creating art, for reasons most exemplified by the following: imagine how cool my art would be if it used negative space well.

In conclusion, I hope the reader finds my abominable "art" to be satisfactory.

Negative Space Cut Out Reflection

Posted by Tomas Arango in Art - Freshman - Hull - b1 on

1.  Negative space is the empty space around the subject of the piece. When working with artwork there are generally three elements the frame, positive space and negative space.

2.In my cut out of negative space, I differentiated between positive and negative space by looking at the light and dark sections(blue and black) of the template. In my drawing of the table,plant,and the stool, I looked at the shapes the spaces formed between the legs of the table and stool.

3. It can me things easier to draw.

4. It can make drawings and photos look more balanced

Negative Space Project Reflection

Posted by Quinn Grzywinski in Art - Freshman - Hull - b1 on

1. Negative space is the space either surrounding or between the "subject" of drawing. 
2. 
a. Well if you look at that drawing(the left) I kinda of didn't. That project servery confused me, and I able to take advantage of the negative potential.
b. I formed around the objects to give them a really distinctive look, but also around the details as well, to really
flesh everything out
3. It really gives birth to a whole new spectrum to worked with, giving the artist options to new styles and deatials that weren't available before.

4. Not only does it give the drawing a really smooth look, it just looks good, and is a design to work with in order
to make something look more surreal or ancient.

Final Perspective Drawing

Posted by Tomas Arango in Art - Freshman - Hull - b1 on

During this project I learned a lot on perspective drawing. I did not know there was so much you had to do, so many lines to draw. I learned how to make ceilings and make it look as if everything is getting smaller. Learning how to draw perspective made my drawings more accurate and more realistic. Now instead of just drawing random lines I use a ruler to make sure everything looks straight. 

If I could do this project again I would of erased less to make the drawing look cleaner. I would also put a little more detail into the room and not just keep it so blank. But it was really fun learning how to draw something new and different from what I would usually draw. 

If you want to get into perspective I would suggest using the internet to your advantage. Look up tutorials, tips and tricks on how to draw perspective. Also make sure all your lines are straight or else everything will look crooked. While I was drawing my piece, YouTube was really helpful. Also the site that Ms.Hull provided for

A. I did not know a lot on perspective. I had heard of it before but never practiced it in so much depth. For example, I didn't know every line or angle had to travel back to that one center point in the picture. 

B. With one point perspective my drawing looked very realistic and neat. I think this is because instead of drawing anyway I wanted to I had a formula to my drawing making it harder to be sloppy with lines and angles. 

C. I would add more detail and shading. I think I mostly focused on the lines on shapes in this drawing. There ended up being a lot of white space making the drawing look incomplete.

D. Always use a ruler and double check your work to make sure your lines aren't crooked. Also look at the drawing to make it makes sense realistically (Looks like the real world should).

E. My ruler which always came in handy for making my lines look straight, and just the room in general. You can't just take one look at something and immediately get it right. You also gave very good feedback. Without your help my ceiling would be be off perspective and my back wall would be too small. 

Art final Project

I have taken art classes sense I was young, so this wasn't much of a learning experience. I did learn more about the measurement process and more about scaling. I feel that this piece isn't my best work but I am still rather proud of it because I am very bad with perspective. If I could redo this project I would have given more in class instructions and would have given a longer time to complete the project. I also suffer from depth presentation issues so the fact that this drawing came out so well was very surprising. All in all I really enjoyed this project.

​Prior to this project, I didn't know how to use a vanishing point. I knew that it was required for perspective drawing, but I didn't know exactly how to make lines utilize a vanishing point to give the illusion of depth. This made my art much better, not only in the sense that I could convey depth, but also in the sense that it gave my art a direction. When my goal was just to make a room with depth, it looked a lot more focused on that goal, which I believe is for the best.
If I were to do this project again, I would add more details. My room felt sad and uninhabited.
My advice to someone who has never drawn in perspective would be this: Draw light lines, have a good eraser, and never forget the vanishing point.
Rulers were my most helpful resource, because I could not have drawn straight lines without a straight edge, and I could not have conveyed depth without straight lines. Erasers were helpful too.

​I learned many different things throughout this process but one thing I specifically learned was that there are different types of lines like Horizontal, Orthogonal, and Vertical to the vanishing point at when all lines in the drawing end up meeting each other. Those things that I learn are all connected because without knowing them, I would have never draw anything what I got right now. These are very easy things that are need to follow and I feel that the vanishing point helped create the drawing. If I was to do this assignment again, I would different is to color it in more. Like I would make some lines darker and some light and just put color period. I think my project would've came out better if I used color. My advice to someone who hasn't never drawn a one point perspective drawing before is it can be hard to make something like this and it is but in order to get this done you need to know the simple of views like bird eye's view. This resource was the most helpful http://www.slideshare.net/marciehull/perspective-step-by-step because it has step by step process and slide show with pictures to go with it.
