2. Photograph your negative space drawings

3. Upload them to your blog

4. Answer the following questions in full sentences.

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

Negative space is the space around an object.

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

I found the negative space by tracing out side the actual objects.

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

It helps an artist observe the objects in an easier  way and it is easier to see the shapes.

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

Negative space enhances drawings because the shape is more defined and clear.

​Negative space is a art term. It is the space around an object. Negative space is hard for me because I can not drawl. Negative to some people is an illusion, especially to me, because it is how the mind works. It comes to some people with more of an understanding, like my first project, i couldn't do i struggled. But i am trying to get an idea. I currently do not have my first paper, but I have the second one.

My paper is a picture of a bird, maybe a owl but that is less important.  My colors were orange and green. 

​Negative space, in art, is space where other things aren't "present", as in, you can't see it. I found negative space in my cut out by tracing the original drawing, and cutting those pieces out. When gluing, I found out that every piece had a meaning to it. When I cut out one thing, the "extra" was actually a piece that showed negative space. When I glued it on, the blank space created a shape that made sense to show my picture as a fully grown tree. I also found negative space in my stool drawing by shading in areas that where in between the object. For example, in a stool, there are empty spaces that sort of have no meaning. I shaded in those areas to create and demonstrate negative space in the set up. 
It helps an artist to see negative space because the space that's around the object they're drawing or in between are just as important as whatever they're drawing. Artist love details, and negative space sometimes brings those details to light, and adds character to the drawing. Without negative space, the drawing, painting, whatever, may not make sense. 
I think that negative space does enhance drawings to a certain extent. Negative space enriches the drawing, and creates a better understanding of it. Say if someone is doing a drawing on a lamp, for example. The person may not be focused on the shape of the lamp as much as everything else, like size and color. When you do a negative space drawing of the lamp, the shape of it is more visible. 

A. Negative space is the empty space/shapes AROUND and/or INSIDE the object itself. It is NOT the object's space, it is what is NOT visible. For example, when drawing negative space of a chair, you don't color in the chair, you would color the four spaces at the bottom of the chair that you can put your hand through. Coloring in these shapes makes your object appears.

B. I found negative space in 1. my cut out by first identifying the orange paper as my entire bird. Then I took my green paper as my negative space. I collided my orange bird with negative space green and placed it over my bird.

C. Negative space helps artists' create shape and it helps composition and add more emphasis to the subject.

D. Yes because it makes the actual subject stand out even more than it would if you would have drawn it itself. With negative space, the drawing is clearly visable with nothing else and it helps the artist focus on the actual subject, or what's important in the drawing.

Negative space is the space around and between the objects.

In my drawing, I found my negative space by taking a look around the object and picture how it would look like with the negative space cut out. Therefore, I use my imagination to figure my negative space for both cut and stool drawing. 

It helps an artist to see negative space because it creates a contrast of the image for the artist.

Yes, negative space enhance drawing because it gave me a good look of what the image is suppose to look like.
