Negative space is the space around and between the subject.The subject would be your picture. You can find the negative space by the different color which help me get a better understanding of everything about negative space and to me the colors make it pop out more. How I figured out the negative space for my picture was basically just putting the excess paper cut on the other side. You pay more attention to the action what is going on in the picture. It does enhance the drawing because you can tell the difference from a regular drawing.

Negative space is the space surrounding the subject. I cut the outline of the objects and then cut the insides. The ones with no shape inside is the positive space. You can also think of it as dark or light. It helps an artist to see negative space because it can create illusions. Seeing negative space does enhance drawings. You can see different kinds of perspectives. Also, there can be a possibility that you can see one thing or the other.  

Negative/Positive Space

Posted by Ruby Ginsburg in Art - Freshman · Hull · d2 Band on

Negative space is something that appears in many drawings, prints, and other works of art. In a piece of artwork, there is a subject. The subject is the main point of the drawing and it is the thing that you focus on. The negative space is what surrounds the subject.
It my cutout, I found the negative space by looking at where the subject is dark on one side, and the background is light. On the other side, the cutout is the opposite with the subject light and the background dark. The light part is positive space while the dark color is negative space.
​ It helps an artist to see negative space because it is possible to make illusions using negative space. There is one example of a vase drawn in positive space, and the sides of the vase create the illusion of two faces using negative space.
Seeing in negative space enhances drawings in my opinion because sometimes it allows you to see two different perspectives within the drawing. It gives complexity to a work of art.

Negative Space

Negative space is the space that surrounds an object in an image. In other words, negative space focuses on the background instead of the main focus of the image. Negative space helps to define the boundaries of positive space and brings balance to a composition.

How did I find the negative space?
It’s the left side of the paper, because that side is where it focuses on the background. Negative space art helps an artist to focus on the backgrounds. Negative space does enhance drawings because it makes illusions. It makes it seem as if the background is also a main focus.

Negative space cut out

Posted by Benjamin Rivera in Art - Freshman · Hull · d2 Band on

The used of two colors one light and one dark to create a picture. I looked at the cut out and realized that the yellow and green was just like the black and white on the original paper. I put the half green and half yellow after I created a full owl by connecting three pieces and put them on the yellow side and put the rest of the green side. I can create a picture that makes a full owl without using colored asymmetry. Negative space enhances drawing because it is pleasing to the viewers eye.

Negative space is the part of a drawing or picture in which there is nothing. If there's a picture of a person's silhouette against a white background, the silhouette would be positive space, because there's something within that space (a person). And the background would be negative space because that part of the image is empty. In the picture I cut out, negative space is used a little more freely. Winged animals don't really have floating inner wings unconnected to an outline of their bodies. In this, negative space is used to represent detail in this image. On one side of the page, the bird is red and the background is purple, on the other  side, those colors switch. The positive space has been made negative and vice versa. It's helpful for artists to understand and see negative space because when using it correctly, they can put focus on the main elements by utilizing the negative space around them. Negative space doesn't enhance drawings but it helps clarify the focus points in messy and complex art.

Negative Space

Negative space is the space between and around an object. I identified the negative space in my cutout because my background was white and my cut out was in gray. To me there was a color difference that made me identify the negative space easier. It helps an artists to see negative space because it lets them pay more attention to the object they are working on. Negative space does enhance drawings because it brings out the main subject of any drawing.

Negative Space Cut Out

I found the negative space in my picture by tracing the lines of the picture with the blunt end of a pencil, then following the lines, I used the razor to cut out the pieces. I glued the positive space down first, then I used the pieces left over to make the negative side.


It helps artists to see into negative space so they can see the outlines of drawings, and it's a unique form of art.


Negative space can enhance drawings if used in the correct way. If the picture is mostly negative, then the darkness drowns out the picture and you can't see it correctly. If it's a good mixture or negative and positive space, the artwork can really be enhanced.


The Idea of Printmaking

Posted by Daeja Richardson in Art - Freshman · Hull · d2 Band on

Printmaking is the process of making any art printed of regular paper. This technique is important because it has a individual creativity to it instead of using photography for painting. Printmaking was originally created in China around AD 105. Towards the 15th century Relief printing came around. For 500 years printmaking has evolved in many ways. These different techniques with printmaking has been used by plenty of well-known artist such as Janet Fish and Walton Ford.This is the “Sharecropper” which was sculpted by Elizabeth Catlett who known from this type of work. This relief print drawing caught my eye because I have seen it before. Yet I admire how Catlett put plenty of detail of the bone structure of the the woman.

Printmaking, Rasa

Posted by Rasa Watson in Art - Freshman · Hull · d2 Band on

Printmaking is an art form that transfers images carved out onto a medium of your choice. It originated in china around 105 BC. as printmaking traveled around the world, it became used for different prints and branched off into different versions of printmaking. Printmaking created a way for people to replicate the same image on paper fabric or any medium they pleased. It became a form of art used for printing on fabric, and used as a way to create a way to duplicate a writing like a newspaper. This is an easy form of art that is accessible by many people. That can be simple or extravagant.

I found this piece particularly interesting because of the contrast between positive and negative space. The contrast between the white and black creates helps you establish the texture of the trees. The brightness of the positive space helps to create what looks to be a reflection of the tree. I have noticed that everyone had a different take to print making. I wonder what the world would be like without printmaking, because it is used not only for art but for everyday things like creating a graphic t-shirt. What if people knew more about printmaking? Would it be something that everyone would do?
