Negative space

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

Negative space is the area in the absences of an object, such as gaps and holes. 



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

1. I found out by noticing the areas I had to keep to make it a picture, and the areas that are the rest. 

2. I got everything that made the stool and the background. 

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

It helps to see what you need to focus on.

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

Yes it does enhance drawings because you see both parts.
