Negative Space Drawings

Posted by Jasmine Nieves in Art - 9 - Hull on Friday, April 27, 2012 at 12:05 pm

    A negative space is not an actual picture. Negative spaces tell whats outside of an image. I found the negative space in my cut out by first cutting out all the pieces then placing and flipping them on construction paper. In the stool drawing, I found the stool drawing was harder then it looks. I found the negative space in the stool by trying not to draw the actual stools. This part of drawing the stool was hard. This helps an artist to see in a negative space because it tells them what outside parts of the picture, make the image. This does enhance drawings because it gets people's creative side out of them.

​A. What is negative space?

Negative space is the space around an object. It is like a silhouette but the other way around.


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 cutting out all the different shapes out of a half sheet of paper and then I glued them on a full sheet and put all the negatives on one side and all the positives on the other side. I found negative space in my stool drawing by outlining the objects and the shading in the area outside of it.


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

It helps an artist because it shows them the difference between light and dark.

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

I think that seeing negative space does enhance drawings because it shows contrast and it makes the drawings look more complicated and interesting.

What is negative space?
Negative Space is a drawing where you have to draw what you see the outline of the object not the whole thing then using your observations. Color or shade in the blank space or the negative space.

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

How I found negative space in my cut out is that by looking at the example on the wall and using that drawing I pointed out my negative space. Then on my stool drawing when I finished my outline I saw these space that I knew on the top of my head was negative space

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

What helps an artist to see negative space is just drawing the outline of the art and then the details after that what you see is blank space is negative space

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

Some of the enhance drawing does have negative space because all drawing has to have some blank space in the drawing that can become the negative space.

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


It helps an artist to see in negative space because it gives them a chance to be more accurate with their drawing and the spaces in between.

Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings?

Seeing negative space can enhance drawings because you can see the shapes and colors easier.

1.     Negative space is the space in a drawing that is not the drawing. The negative space would be the space in between the lines of the drawing. If you were to draw a tree in a field, the negative space would be everything but the tree itself.

2.     In my drawing, I found negative space by looking in between the legs of the stool. In my cutout I found negative space by cutting out the shape, then cutting around the shape.

3.     It helps an artist to see in negative space, because it gives them an even better understanding of what they’re drawing, and helps them to visualize the end product.

4.     I think that seeing in negative space does enhance drawing, because it gives the artist a better understanding of what they’re doing.

What is negative space?

In art negative space is the space between or around the main object or image of the drawing.

Explain how you find the negative space in your cut out and your stool drawing. 


I found the negative space in my cut out and in my stool drawing by focusing on the main image of the drawing and seeing that the air/space around it is just extra and unneeded pieces.

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


It helps an artist to see in negative space because it allows them to concentrate of the most important part of the piece making the drawing more effective. 

Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings?

Seeing negative space can enhance drawings because you first able to see the shapes of what you're drawing and work up from there. With the actual shape of the drawing your basically have the form of object that your working on.

Negative Space- Tang, Aaron

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

Negative space is images that have no lines connecting. The picture shows that the outer piece of the drawing is going to be shaded which is the negative space. For example, there are white and blue and the white part of the drawing is positive space. The black is negative because of the background. When the image had no lines, it will call it a silhouette. 


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

The cut out as shown below which is the owl. To find out the negative space it, will be the dark blue one. I noticed that the dark blue one is the background of the negative space. The light blue one shows the shape of the owl, and the two colors will show a picture of my image. For my second step of drawing, I drew stools by looking at the view. I drew all the stools with lines connected, but at the end I erase the lines so the picture can be a one unite. I shaded the remainder to make it negative space. The white part is showing the positive space of the image. 

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

One reason why artist can see in the negative space is giving a visual of the image. The positive and the negative let people identify the picture. Without the details of the drawing, artists can see what it is. 

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

I think it is because people don't have to draw every little detail. With using the technique of negative space and positive space, it will show a better design. Also, people can visualize the image a lot faster.

What is negative space? 


Negative space is the space around and in between the object of an image. 

Explain how you find the negative space in your cut out and your stool drawing. 


I found the negative space in my cut out and in my stool drawing by seeing the shapes in the blank space without even drawing the actual shapes. 

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


It helps an artist to see in negative space because it gives them a chance to be percise and accurate when forming lines in their drawling. 

Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings?

Seeing negative space can enhance drawings because you can see shapes and things in your drawing without intentionally drawing it. You can see suddle or even obvious shapes in your drawing by using negative space.

​A. What is negative space?
Negative space is essentially a reverse silhouette, where every part of an object is left white (or blank) and the surrounding space is coloured a different colour. 


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

I found the negative space in my cutout by first tracing over the positive portions of the stencil. By cutting the shape of the positive stencil out of a designated half-sheet of construction paper I created the negative and positive needed for my project. 

In my stool drawing I first had to draw the outline of the shape. Once it was fairly accurate I created the negative space by shading around the figure.

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

It helps to see in negative space because by doing so a person can be more detailed and accurate in forming outlines. Also, it teaches balance of light and dark in a drawing. 

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

Seeing in negative space enhances drawings because in using negative space, a person creates areas of rest for the eyes (that's the negative area) and interesting tension (positive).

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

Negative space is the area in the absences of an object, such as gaps and holes. 



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

1. I found out by noticing the areas I had to keep to make it a picture, and the areas that are the rest. 

2. I got everything that made the stool and the background. 

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

It helps to see what you need to focus on.

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

Yes it does enhance drawings because you see both parts.
