The Bird (Positive/Negative Space Intro)
Positive/Negative Space Cut Out
B. I found the negative space by cutting out the objects on the template with a dull color and placing the cutouts onto a vibrant background.
C. Negative space give the artist and the viewer another lense to see the art in. The positive space is just as important as the negative. They are equal.
D. Negative space enhances art by creating two images in 1. Two perspectives. Components stand out better.

The way I found negative space in my picture is my using my artist eye. I looked at the image I had to cut out which was a tree.What I saw that the light blue sheet I wanted to make it the negative space. I am putting the dark blue sheet on top of it, which makes the blue negative and helps form a picture with the dark blue sheets.
I believe that it helps an artist to see negative space. Seeing negative space can bring out the image so the viewers can interpret the way of the image they chose to present. Negative space is important as positive space The artist wants to make sure that the background is not too big so the image in focus is not in focus and vise versa because if not followed the image will be deformed and will not be able to see what the actual image would of been.
I believe negative space in an image enhances the image, because you can see more detail in the image from the different contrasts. You can see two different ways with both the negative space and the positive space. The negative space will bring out the image and can help the viewer see the image.

Negative/Positive Space Cut Out
A. What is negative space? (explain this concept to a fourth grader that has never heard of it)
B. Explain how you found negative space in your cut out?
D. Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings, why or why not?
Seeing in negative space does enhance drawings because it brings out the object of the drawing or the focus of the drawing. It also balances out the elements in the drawing.
Negative/Positive Space cutout - Matthew Nguyen
Negative Space in layman's terms is what is in the background of an image. Negative space is generally what isn’t what needs to be seen in an image, while the positive space is all that does need to be seen. More simply put, positive space tends to be closer while negative space tends to be further back. When negative and positive space are drawn as only single colors rather than the range of colors or with outlines, it appears to be as if it is a silhouette of the image.
In the cutout, I found the negative space to be what is not the tree and that on the drawing was what was already white, and the positive space was in grey. However, that only gave me defines between negative and positive space. To actually see what is negative and positive space, it took looking at the image and seeing “aha!” this is a tree and this figure is the positive space, so thus the rest must be negative space.
It helps an artist to see in negative and as it shows them what to focus on and what parts are more important in an image. It allows them to split up and comprehend the image based on certain figures. Seeing in negative space ultimately enhances drawings as it gives a more realistic effect to drawings as it allows people to contrast between background and foreground and see what is supposed to be seen in an image.
