Negative space is the area around the image that is the focus of the picture.

In order to find the negative space in my picture, I aligned all of the pieces on one side, and flipped over every other one from the outside, so that the cut out was a mirror image of the side opposite it.

Seeing an image in negative space is an important skill for an artist to have, as it can help to clearly visualize the overall form of the subject matter.

Seeing the negative space present in a drawing or any other type of visual art enhances the viewing experience, as it brings more contrast to the attention of the viewer.

A. Negative space is an art the incorporates the space between subjects in an image. Negative can be used to show to different images. We can look at the positive space and see an image, and then focus on the negative space and see a completely different image. Usually, for these type of images, we use two colors black and white. The subject in the picture is usually white and everything around it is white creating a silhouette.

B. I found the negative space in this picture by looking for the dark spots in my pictures. These spots created the image of a bat and defined the image I was trying to portray.

C. It helps an artist to see negative space in an image because negative space gives an image definition and brings balance to a composition. Also negative space should not distract from the main subject.

D. Seeing negative space does enhance the drawing. The dark space makes an image more intense and clear to see. Also the negative image is there so we can see multiple images in one. Negative space is also not constricted to only one form of art. It can be found in photography, painting, and graphic designs.

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.  

Negative and Positive Cut Out

The negative space in the picture above is the brown region on the owl. Think of negative space as a brighter color different from the darker color in a drawing. Negative space most times is the drawing rather than the background in a picture. So if you were to draw a apple dropping from a tree. The tree would be in the center shaded completely in and so would the apple dropping. Everything that's not shaded in around it would be blank, white or a different color being the positive space. 

In my cut the spaces that were not cut out was the positive so it was easy to see that what was darker than the other spaces is negative. The spaces were easier to see after the final product that it was actually the negative space. Negatives pace can easier to find as long as your focus is clear and know how your positive space would look without it.

It helps to an artist to see in negative space so that you can see what the focus is. Like in my example before with the tree and dropping apple they were what eye is drawn to finally. The background added to it, a.k.a the positive space, is additional  to the picture to look at depth in the image. If we were just looking at the negative space in the owl picture then all we would see is the brown parts, that would be our focus. 

Seeing in negative space does enhance drawings mainly because the viewer won't have to be scrambling to look for the main focus in a picture. The picture would have just positive space, which would not be that much of an image, unless you could work around that fact. On the other hand a picture with more negative space than positive, could be a picture just not showing the environment around the focus space. 

Negative/Positive space - cut out

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

To easily see negative space you need to use two color to tell one from another, for instance if you look at the image above the part with the most space is the negative space, so the black, and whatever pops out so the green would be the positive space. If you want the negative space if you look at the streets and traffic would be the streets, and the positive space would be the cars.

B. Explain how you found negative space in your cut out? In my cut out you can find negative space by looking at which color is dominant, and has a taste of tension. The black appears more, and if you look at the middle it is jointed.  

C. Why does it help an artist to see in negative space? It helps the artist visually see the tree, so that the image is not overcrowded, space ables your eyes to stay focus.

D. Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings, why or why not? Yes, it helps have a guide that is strict enough to prevent mistakes, but has enough flexibility when it comes to you imagination as an artist. Negative space is a healthy guideline, which will enhance the respect and dignity art work needs.

A.

Negative space is the area between the things in the drawing or photograph. In this photo it would be the purple on the left and the green on the right. As you can see it is not the image that I want you to see but it is the space around it.

B.

I found it by looking at the object, the owl in this case, and then paying attention to the space that is not the point of interest. I then cut out that area and the inside, the positive space, out of the purple.

C.

Negative space is important because it can help you highlight certain areas and it can also allow you to hide images inside an image. It can help us see an image more clearly. It also helps you show two things in one.

D.

Yes, because it can bring compensation to the image and help contrast the subject(s) of the image. You can use negative space to highlight positive space and make your subject(s) clear.

Negative and positive cut out- Rujano

Negative space is the piece of part you use to cut out the image you are cutting. It like creating the second part of the tree. I found my negative space by knowing that the image I’m doing a cut out off is the other part of the image, so it’s the opposite. It helps the artist by visualizing the opposite space of an image. I feel like it does help when artist sees the negative because you see the other side of the image and shows theirs a lot of ways to see a image.
