Negative Space

Negative space is basically the empty space in a picture. For example, in the image above if you only focus on the left, then the negative space is grey. But, if you focus on the right then it's the opposite because the grey parts are the parts creating the image. When I cut the image out I kept all the pieces. I separated them so that they would be like mirror images or opposites. For example, when I cut out the house I kept the piece that had an outline of the house so that I could paste it on the opposite side. It helps an artist to see the negative space because it helps to create the image and it's like emphasising the piece in art form by using space. I feel like only viewing it in negative space is better. This is because it's more straight forward and it's less confusing.
