A. What is negative space (explain this concept to a fourth grader that has never heard of it)
Negative space is simply coloring but instead of inside the drawing it is out side This gives a strange blank effect, where you have to make out the picture bast on the outline.

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

In my orange and brown cut out I had to make a make half a picture in to the whole thing so I traced the picture and cut it out. I then separated every other piece, After placing them on the paper I have to arrange the sides to be mirrors of each other. The still life images were mainly backwards coloring books as explained above, coloring outside the lines.

C. Why does it help an artist to see in negative space?
Negative space help artists understand which parts stand out and which do not.

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

If you are doing molds then it helps distinguish the differences perspective, but in a different style it would be useless.

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

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

At first it was very hard for me to find the negative space. To find it in the cut out I had to first find the actual shape that I was making, than find all the space around it. It was much easier to find the negative space in the drawing, but I had to look at the object, than I looked at what I saw around the object, and I could draw it.

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

I think it helps an artist to see in negative space because than there is contrast that they can see.

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

I think it does enhance the drawing because there is so much contrast.

Negitive space is drawing the background, of an object not the actual object.

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

I found negative space in my cut out when I pasted my turqouise pieces down on bright paper I could really see the negative space. I found negative space in my still life drawing, by shading in between the white space around my object.

It helps an artisit to see negative space because the object becomes clearer

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

Negative space is basically just the space in between whatever the object is that is not the object itself. When you draw the negative space, the thing you are drawing will appear.

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

I found in my cutout by cutting around the template with the paper behind it. Once I had all the pieces cut, it was easy to find the negative space and make the bird's shape. I found the negative space in my still life drawing by looking at the object I was drawing and one by one drawing the spaces in between it.

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

It helps an artist to see in negative space because they can make the drawing more detailed and it will look better/more realistic.

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

Seeing in negative space does enhance drawings because it makes the details stand out and overall it makes the picture more interesting than if it was drawn normally.

Yes because it show people all the aspects and sides of the drawing and it's another way of art without really sketching things out.

What is negative space (explain this concept to a fourth grader that has never heard of it)
Negative space is when you make objects appear. You do this by showing the space between the objects you drew.
Explain how you found negative space in 1. your cut out?, 2. in your still life drawing?
I found the negative space by looking at the background as that is what the negative space is and the positive space is the actual cut outs I had to glue on. I had to think of it in a way where both sides were reversed and had some negative and positive to balance out both sides. In my still life drawings, I drew the object first and then colored in the negative space first in between the blanks spaces to make it appear.

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

Seeing in negative space allows a artist to find the object and see it better. It makes the art pop out more.

Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings, why or why not?

Seeing in negative space does enhance the drawings because it becomes bold and stands out to the viewer. You can closely see each detail the drawing has.
