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

Negative space is the space around the object in the drawing. An example of this would be when you cut a piece of paper and you put it on a different piece of paper the color that went from the role of the foreground to the background would be negative space.

B. I was able to find negative space because when I was younger I used to do drawings and I learned not to color outside the drawing and this is very similar so it helps me understand how to flip the two colors so it creates negative space and a whole picture while it contradicts itself.

C. Why does it help an artist to see in negative space?
It helps an artist to see in negative space because it controls the borders of positive and negative space. It also gives the artist more to work with when it comes to the foreground

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

Seeing in negative space does enhance drawings because it already introduces the background however it makes you focus on the foreground.
