Tobi Hahn Negative Space

Posted by Tobi Hahn in Art - Freshman - Hull on Friday, May 3, 2013 at 8:48 am

Negative space is the space between the lines that you normally draw.
I found negative space in my cutout by looking at what was cut out and doing the inverse. I found negative space in my still life drawing by looking at the solid lines and drawing around them.
It helps you to see in negative space because then you can create art in more varied media.
It does, because it would be impossible to create a cutout like the one we did without seeing in negative space.

Des O'Donovan: Negative and Positive Space

Posted by Desmond O'Donovan in Art - Freshman - Hull on Friday, May 3, 2013 at 8:46 am

​ Negative space is basically the opposite of actual space. It is the non-existent space around an object. Positive space is the actual object. Negative space is the space that is not the object being drawn. 

In my cut out I found negative space in my cut-out by cutting out the dark gray parts of the template and making those shapes one color on one side, and the other color on the other. I did the same with the lighter parts for positive space, and made sure that the negative, and positive space shapes were opposite color on either side.

It helps an artist to se in negative space because then the artist can separate the object from the rest of the space. It also helps make the object stand out. 

Seeing in negative and positive space does enhance a drawing because it makes the drawing stand out. The positive space stands out from the negative space.

Negative Space: Brandon Yam

Posted by Brandon Yam in Art - Freshman - Hull on Friday, May 3, 2013 at 8:44 am

A.) Negative space is the space behind, around, and in between an object or objects. The object itself is not negative space but everything else besides it, is negative space. To give you an example of negative space, think about prison cells. The bars on prison cells are separated by an equal amount of space. That space would be the negative space. 
B.) I found negative space in my cut out because I looked up other examples of negative space on the internet and did my cut out similar to that. I did a tree in my cut out, so for the negative space I just had to create the the background. When I created the background the tree was made as well as a result of the background. Look at the picture I provided below to get a better understanding of what I am talking about. 
I found negative space in my still life drawing by actually making the negative space. I would create the object first then I would just shade around all of the object. This is one way of doing it. I also did one of the drawing much like the cut out project. I created the background space first, so I shaded everything then left some parts non-shaded, the non-shaded regions would create the object. Another way I went about negative space in these drawings was by covering a whole section of a piece of paper with lead, then I took an eraser and drew the object by erasing. 
C.) It helps an artist see in negative space because it gives them a new way of thinking. As I was doing this project, I found it to be very challenging because I had to think of how to go about making negative space out of cut outs. Negative space also helps the artist think more realistically about their surroundings. 
D.) I do believe seeing in negative space enhances drawings. I personally feel like I have a better understanding of the space that surrounds an object. Negative space gives a drawing a simple, plain, yet unique look.

Javier Peraza: Negative Space Art

Posted by Javier Peraza in Art - Freshman - Hull on Friday, May 3, 2013 at 8:37 am

1. Negative space is the space between and around the topic of a picture
2. I have studied negative space before and therefore it was quite easy to find it. The simpleness is just the empty space around the subject. 
3. Negative space strengthens an artist's perspective of things. 
4. The enhancement of drawings and ext. because of negative space solely depend on the artist. Although, most likely seeing everything from different perceptions does increase knowledge and skill on that base term.

Aaron Block's Negative Space

Posted by Aaron Block in Art - Freshman - Hull on Friday, May 3, 2013 at 8:31 am

A. Negative space is the area around an object. When drawing negative space you shade the area around an object as oppose to the object itself.

B. To find negative space in my cutout I cut out the object, in my case the house. For the drawings I quickly outlined the objects then shaded the area around it.

C. It helps to see in negative space because you can see the shapes in an object better than if you were to just look at the object as it is.

D. It does help drawings to see in negative space. You can see the shapes in objects which helps drawing the object as a whole.

Jiwon Choi: Negative Space Art

Posted by Jiwon Choi in Art - Freshman - Hull on Friday, May 3, 2013 at 8:03 am

  1. Negative space is the space around and between an object. The negative space is the background image. When you draw negative space art, you would shade in the space around the image and leave the object white. 
  2. I found my negative space when I was cutting out the image by knowing the basic image. I knew that the outline of image would be the positive space and the rest of the image is the negative space. In my still life drawing, I found my negative space because I know that the negative space is the background. Therefore, the actual object is the positive space. I knew that that means the spaded space had to be the background. 
  3. It helps an artist to see the negative space because this gives them a better view of the object. This is a basic technique in art, and artists need to know the basic technique in art to portray art more realistically. 
  4. Seeing a negative space enhances drawings because it shows us something that we never focused on; the balance of black and white.

Negative Space Reflection

Posted by Milahn Shurelds in Art - Freshman - Hull on Thursday, May 2, 2013 at 10:30 pm

1. Negative space the space around and between an object or image. The object is usually light colored (white) and the surroundings of the object are darker(black). 

2. I found the negative space by copying the template on the paper. After doing that I was able to cut out the drawing. then the surroundings of the actual object was cut out and placed on the opposite side of the paper so it could be joined as one big drawing.

2a. After drawing the object I shade in the parts that were empty(white). The surroundings and between the object. 

3. It lets you see the actual object. It shows contrast between the empty space and object. Using negative space makes the drawing look better. 

4. Using negative space does enhance the drawing. It lets you see every aspect of the object and what it actually looks like if you were to see the actual object.

Negative Space Reflection

A. Negative space is typically the space surrounding an object. It is a way of displaying the shape of an object using just two colors and without drawing details with pen or pencil. In other words it is the background.

B. In my tree I was able to identify the negative space because I could see the outline of the figure and from there I was able to identify which was the positive and negative space. By having the capability to differentiate between the two I could move on to the more minor details such as branches, roots, and the grass. What helped me the most was thinking of the piece like a mirror, because whatever happens on one side is always reversed on the other and that all the pieces cut off of one were placed on the other.

       My still life was my very first negative space drawing. It took me a while to catch on because it was hard for me to see the space in only two colors, white and black. I started off by defining the positive space and from there I was able to shade in the background.

C. An artist needs to be able to define the shape of their subject as clearly as possible. After all having well formed objects is the beginning to every good art pieces. To be able to do so you need at least a basic understanding of how negative and positive space relate and how to be able to see their subject through that lens.

D. Having a clear outline of a shape and being able to see where the background begins makes an art piece much more appealing and pleasant to look at. There is a balance between positive and negative space that we do not always notice. I think that it is very important not to only focus on the positive like we tend to do, but also pay attention to the background.

Negative Space

Posted by Melissa Alvarez in Art - Freshman - Hull on Tuesday, April 30, 2013 at 2:06 pm

A. Say I told you to draw a circle on a piece of paper and asked you to color the negative space, you'd only color the space around the circle and not the circle itself. That space is the negative space. 

B. I found negative space by seeing everything around the object. It's a matter of where your focusing your eyes. I found the negative space in my cut out by removing all the positive.
In my still life drawings, I drew a contour of the objects and never any inside details, then colored everything outside of that contour.  

C. It helps an artist to see negative space because you'll then realize what is and isn't part of an object. Positive space isn't all a drawing has to offer, there's much more depth, and a big part of that depth is the negative. 

D. Seeing negative space helps enhance everything outside of an object. Personally I prefer to play with negative space over positive. It's taking a different outlook on what our eyes usually focus on first.

Negative Space Cut Out

Posted by Naomi Fecher-Davis in Art - Freshman - Hull on Tuesday, April 30, 2013 at 1:55 pm

Negative space is the area around an object. An easy way to think of it is the space that you can play around if an object was in the middle of a room. I found the negative space in the cut out drawing by doing the opposite shapes. If one shape was green on one side of the other it would be pink. In the still life I found the negative space by shading the empty space in with pencil so to appear empty. It helps an artist to see in negative space because when seeing the negative space it shows the contrast. It also helps the viewer of the painting see where things are and seeing if the space around it is full or empty. It gives effect to a painting. I think negative space in a drawing enhances the drawing because it enables the viewer to see contrast and it gives an extra dimension to the drawing. It also allows the viewer to see it in an abstract way.
