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

    A negative space drawing uses the dark or black part of pictures to form shapes that we can recognize.

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

    1. I found it by first pasting one side of the template, and then using what was rest to make the borders for the negative space: The part where I cut out the wings, became, the wings on the other side by "shaping" negative space

    2. I first shaded in the entire page, and then made the shapes by "drawing" with the eraser.

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

    It helps with finding a way to give depth to an object, without giving it any details besides the black and white.

  • D. How is negative space useful in creating art?

    It allows a person to draw an object without having to make every detail perfect,
