A. Negative space is the area surrounding an object. In other words, it is all of the space that is not being occupied by a physical thing.

B. I found negative space in my cut out by simply using the stencil that Mrs. Hull gave us to show where the house/fence was by alternating the colors of construction paper. For my stool drawing, I drew the outline of the shapes that I saw, mostly focusing on the space between the legs of the stools.

C. I think that it helps an artists to see negative space because it shows depth. It also shows the basic outline of shapes, which is extremely important when someone is drawing.

D. I think that seeing negative space does enhance drawings because it makes sure that you have the right amount of distance between objects and it allows you to show depth without actually drawing the actual object, but the space around it.
