  • A. What is negative space (explain this concept to a fourth grader that has never heard of it)
Negative space is the space in a drawing for which is known as the empty space around a specific message that the author chose to show.

  • B. Explain how you found negative space in 1. your cut out?, 2. in your stool drawing?
I found the negative space in the first drawing (cut out) by placing the stuff that I knew had to be there. When I say that, I mean that I placed a mirror image for both sides of the drawing. I decided what was missing to complete the image completely and from there found my negative space. For the second drawing (stool) I found my negative space by seeing all the space surrounding the stool, the empty space. 
  • C. Why does it help an artist to see in negative space?
It helps an artist to see in negative space because, there is some sort of story clearly in any photo. Sure not all the space is completed by the drawing, but this makes it more real. This allows the viewer to find the complete photo in real life but on paper. It's extraordinary for the viewer and exactly what the artist would want. 
  • D. How is negative space useful in creating art?
Negative space is useful when creating art because it allows the full model of the photo to be shown to the viewer. It allows the viewer to live in that moment, to find their complete story through one small drawing. 

Final Perspective Drawing

I have learned a lot about art this year. For one, I am not a grand artist. I never had that "artist eye". However, during this course I was able to find my inner artist, my inner perspective. The most important thing I have learned about art is, its how you see it. Drawing isn't a correct or incorrect message, it's the view of the person that makes it. 

From this I was able to use four very important tools to make my drawing the greatest it could be, a pencil, multiple erasers, a ruler and my mind. I was able to view the room for which I drew in a whole different way once I started. It became a drawing for which I was proud of to call mine. 

There were multiple things I would do differently, for one, I would work on my couch and table more. I was in a rush when I made them so it was not a Picasso object. I would also work more on my floor. I feel as though I did not complete the floor greatly, which I wish I could redo again. 

If anyone were to make a perspective drawing, I would give them one rule: use your artist eye. That's really all you need. You do not need to be the greatest, you just need to use your ruler and your one point and you will do fine. 

Honestly, my viewing of the drawing was the greatest measure for completing my drawing. The website Ms. Hull gave me was great as well, yet I really would not be able to accomplish such a great drawing as this one without a intense look at the classroom around me.
