Negative Space

Posted by Nyla Moore in Art - Freshman - Hull - y2 on

1. Negative space is the background space around and between an object in a picture. Usually the negative space is white and the positive space is white. 
2. To find negative space, you have to cut the positive space part and fold the paper to see if the sides are symmetrical. If you are drawing a picture, you have to draw the first image, color the background a dark color, and color the positive a different lighter color. 
3. Its helpful for artists to be able to see negative space because it makes things easier to see. 
4. Negative space is useful because it makes pictures pop and catches people's eyes.

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

Negative space is the clear blank empty space around a picture.

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

I found negative space in my cut out by when I used different colour for template to background paper I saw the shape of the cut out. In my stool drawling I did scissors, I found by when I shaded white paper then erase the outline of the scissors. So when I saw the different colours I found negative space.     

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

It helps an artist by it him see what he drawled only and it adds a balance to the picture.

  • D. How is negative space useful in creating art?

Negative space is used to just focus what has been drawled.

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

Negative space is all the empty space that surrounds the subject in a photograph or drawing.

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

1. To find the negative space in my cut out, the template was helpful. The darker shades in the template was my negative space and the lighter was the positive space.

2. To find the negative space in the ‘stool drawing’, I was initially very confused. I didn’t know where to start, but then Ms.Hull gave me pointer. She said I should lightly sketch the stool . Then, I was to shade all around it which was the negative space. Thanks for the help Ms.Hull!

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

It helps an artist see negative space because it can make their image more appealing to the eye and adds a nice balanced look. The positive space in the drawing also defines the negative space.

  • D. How is negative space useful in creating art?

Negative space is useful because it lets the artist focus on the main subject, rather than unnecessary details.  It also gives the drawing more dimension.

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

A negative space drawing, is an outline of an object or someone. It is opposite of a silhouette. The negative space is outside and positive space is inside.

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

Negative space in my cut out was, the blue. The pink is the background that touches with the edge of the negative space. In my stool drawing i found the negative space by the outline of the object that i drew. Outside of the outline that was the negative space.

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

Negative space helps artists because they can focus on one side, and come out with two. It can make things more attention grabbing.

D. How is negative space useful in creating art?

Negative space is useful in art, by sometimes making drawings two dimensional and more interesting.

  • A. What is negative space (explain this concept to a fourth grader that has never heard of it)
  • = Negative space is something that is an illusion of something. It's when the surrounded space helps a object to reflect even though it's not meant to be drawn out. The use of negative space is a key element of artistic composition.
  • B. Explain how you found negative space in 1. your cut out?, 2. in your stool drawing?
  • =  I have found my negative space in my first drawing while I was cutting out the squares of the trees. I started to notice that one side is going to reflect another if I cut the opposite of each other and keep the cutout papers. Then glue it to the opposite sides with it's opposite face and it'll be shown as negative space drawing. Then in my second drawing, I have shaded the full page except keeping the filled where I wanted to reflect a bottle. I drew it in some ways that no one notices its a bottle but the shade helps it notice that it's a bottle without actually drawing it out. 
  • C. Why does it help an artist to see in negative space?
  • =It helps an artist to use negative space because they can play with other's illusion and make many things out of it. They show that negative space can be drawn out where other possibilities aren't present.
  • D. How is negative space useful in creating art?
  • = Negative space is useful creating art because sometimes it can show two drawings inside of one another. They can show what other things can be meant in a  drawing. The artist can include many things inside one drawing and the viewer can view it in different perspective but still will find the same or different. That['s the power of negative space.

A. Negative space is empty space, it is usually white. 
B. When I was doing my cut out with construction paper I found out the negative space was the paper I was cutting. Moreover, when I was drawing the stool I found the coloring around the white space made it negative space. 
C. Negative space is used to organize or make the drawing more balance and clean. It also compliments the subject. It defines the drawing and again, makes it cleaner looking. 
D. Negative spacing in art is useful, because the negative space outlines the idea. Meaning, there is enough subject where the negative stands out, which helps to define the object. It keeps it creative and different.

  • A. What is negative space?
The object in a drawing is the subject. For example, if you are drawing a plastic bottle, the plastic bottle is the subject. The negative space is the area around the subject, also known as the background.

  • B. Explain how you found negative space in 1. your cut out?, 2. in your still-life drawing?
  1. I found negative space in my cut out by cutting along the edges of where the two shades of gray met on the template. When I glued the pink pieces of paper onto the green piece, the green paper was the negative space.
  2.  In my still life drawing, I found negative space by sketching the edges of the water bottle (where the subject touches the background), and then coloring the outside of that shape in black sharpie.

  • C. Why does it help an artist to see in negative space?
If I am struggling to draw an object, I can draw the space around it (the negative space). Focusing on the negative space around the object more than the subject makes the drawing look more realistic and accurate.

  • D. How is negative space useful in creating art?
Drawing negative space gives art a different look without making the subject unrecognizable. Instead of shading and coloring details inside the subject, an artist can boldly shade the background all in one color. Drawing negative space is similar to drawing with a different perspective.
Even if an artist draws the negative space and the subject, looking at both makes difficult parts of a drawing easier to complete, and the entire drawings looks more realistic and to scale.

Reflection and Drawings

Posted by Shaina-Nicole Keenan in Art - Freshman - Hull - y2 on

​A. Negative space will be the white space in the drawing, possibly black. It creates an image without actually drawing the item. It makes drawings more accurate and pretty!

B. In my cut out drawing the negative space is created using the paper, in which was cut. The background created the foreground for the image, so when the paper was glued down in made the bat/bird image. For the stool drawing the negative space was established by the colors. The colors in the background and the pockets of colors allowed the stool to come to life. 

C. It helps an artist to see in negative space, because the drawing becomes more accurate and aesthetically pleasing drawing.

D. It allows their mind to think different, and focus on what is not there; it makes everything more complex and interesting.

  • A. What is negative space (explain this concept to a fourth grader that has never heard of it):  There are two space types in every photo, this is the base and the background.
  • B. Explain how you found negative space in 1. your cut out?, 2. in your stool drawing?: there were diffrent shading so i just cut out the shaded part.
  • C. Why does it help an artist to see in negative space?: when using negative space it makes the main part pop more and be more defined.
  • D. How is negative space useful in creating art?: So things are easier to see and it can pop more
