Negative Space
Negative space is all the empty space around an image or object. It doesn’t take interest away from the central drawing or idea, instead it adds on to the idea and compliments. On the right side the red in the background is the negative space because the black section is the main focus of the image. On the left side the black side of the image is the negative space because the red is the main purpose.
It is important for artist to see the negative space because it gives the image a main focal point instead of having everything be positive space and not knowing what to focus on. This helps artists know the difference between main points and backgrounds. It helps to see in negative space because it really helps differentiate the main parts from other things. Also negative space usually adds to the meaning of the image.
