Conversation #2
Posted by Sabrina Stewart-McDonald in SP3-005 onWho did you speak with and why?
I spoke with a 25 year old man named Carlos Gonzales. I spoke with him because he invited me to chat on Sharedtalk.
What did you learn about the person? What did you learn from the person?
I learned that he is from Santiago, Chile. From him, I learned that there is also a lot of crime and violence in Santiago, though tourists usually find it peaceful.
How did the interaction help you with your personal goals?
I want to learn about the daily life in other countries, mainly because when I picture other countries, I think of them as being way different from the US, but this is not the case. So, in talking with Carlos, I proved, even more, that other countries are very like the US and there is just as much violence, though we may think not.
What did you do well to achieve your personal goals? What do you need to improve on to achieve your personal goals?
I did well with finding a person who had a lot of information. I chatted with a few other people, but Carlos had provided me with the most information about his country and the life there. I think I could've done better by finding more than one source; maybe getting more than one perspective.

Second conversation.
Posted by Marley Utzig in SP3-005 onSecond Week:
Partners Name: Robert/ Mauro
City y Country: Peru/Buenos Aires
(The people on Livemocha would only talk to me a tiny bit.)
Who
you spoke with and why you chose that partner.
I
spoke with a man on Livemocha, he messaged me because he was learning English
and I am learning Spanish. Both men messaged me to talk so I just went with it.
What
did you learn about them? What did you learn from them?
I
learned Mauro lives in Buenos Aires, and Robert wants to learn to speak
English.
How
did this interaction help you move towards achieving your personal goals?
The
more I speak in Spanish the more comfortable I become, Mauro knew no English so
speaking to him forced me to only speak in Spanish. This was helpful but difficult and I found myself looking at word reference a lot
What
specifically did you do well according to your goals/expectations? What
specifically to you need to improve on? (Quote specific things you said or did
and what you would have done or said if you could do it again)
I spoke only in Spanish and tried to keep a basic conversation. This needs to change, these conversations are awkward at best and using Livemocha is harder then expected. I want to figure out how to hold just a basic conversation before I try and learn anything about their culture.
Week#2 All about Kleber and I's convo
Posted by Imani Johnson in SP3-004 onThis week, I only got in contact with my one helped Kleber.
He/she hasn't gotten back to me after responding to their questions but it was going having to answer the questions asked. But I tried to not use wordreference to help form my sentences. I think I would be good to just stick with communicating with Kleber, and send messages with me in Spanish and him/her in English so that way we both can learn. I only asked Kleber to ask me questions since I wasn't sure what to say, plus I didn't want to put too much of my business out there to someone I didn't know. Sadly Kleber didn't give me questions that required me to respond using different tenses meaning I would have to constantly conjugate my verbs. But we could work on that more this upcoming week.

Negative Space Drawings
Posted by Jasmine Nieves in ART9-006 onA negative space is not an actual picture. Negative spaces tell whats outside of an image. I found the negative space in my cut out by first cutting out all the pieces then placing and flipping them on construction paper. In the stool drawing, I found the stool drawing was harder then it looks. I found the negative space in the stool by trying not to draw the actual stools. This part of drawing the stool was hard. This helps an artist to see in a negative space because it tells them what outside parts of the picture, make the image. This does enhance drawings because it gets people's creative side out of them.
Negative Space
Posted by Adam Feliciano in ART9-008 onA. What is negative space (explain this concept to a fourth grader that has never heard of it)
Negative space, in art, is the space around and between the subject(s) of an image.
B. Explain how you found negative space in 1. your cut out?, 2. in your stool drawing?
I found negative space in the cut out by simply cutting out all the gray areas and paste it on one half of the page the the white area on the other side of the page which showed symmetry. The green represented the negative space.
C. Why does it help an artist to see in negative space?
A good artist realizes that the space surrounding an object is just as important as that object itself. Negative space helps define a subject, and brings balance to a composition.
D. Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings, why or why not
Negative space enhances drawings because you focus on the negative space instead of the actual object which might be harder and take more time.
Negative Space Reflection
Posted by Sieanna Williams in ART9-008 onNegative Space Reflection:
1. Photograph your negative space cut outs
2. Photograph your negative space drawings
3. Upload them to your blog
4. Answer the following questions in full sentences.
A. What is negative space (explain this concept to a fourth grader that has never heard of it)
B. Explain how you found negative space in 1. your cut out?, 2. in your stool drawing?
C. Why does it help an artist to see in negative space?
D. Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings, why or why not
A. Negative space is the empty space/shapes AROUND and/or INSIDE the object itself. It is NOT the object's space, it is what is NOT visible. For example, when drawing negative space of a chair, you don't color in the chair, you would color the four spaces at the bottom of the chair that you can put your hand through. Coloring in these shapes makes your object appears.
B. I found negative space in 1. my cut out by first identifying the orange paper as my entire bird. Then I took my green paper as my negative space. I collided my orange bird with negative space green and placed it over my bird.
C. Negative space helps artists' create shape and it helps composition and add more emphasis to the subject.
D. Yes because it makes the actual subject stand out even more than it would if you would have drawn it itself. With negative space, the drawing is clearly visable with nothing else and it helps the artist focus on the actual subject, or what's important in the drawing.

Posted by Amy Chen in ART9-008 onNegative
space is the space around and between the objects.
In my drawing, I found my negative space by
taking a look around the object and picture how it would look like with the negative
space cut out. Therefore, I use my imagination to figure my negative space for
both cut and stool drawing.
It helps an artist to see negative space because
it creates a contrast of the image for the artist.
Yes, negative space enhance drawing because it
gave me a good look of what the image is suppose to look like.
Negative Space and Clouds Feat Green and Orange
Posted by Alex Marothy in ART9-008 onNegative space is the space in between objects. It is the shapes in the background.
The year was 1972. I was a ripe young 6 years old, and ignorant to the world around me. I was highly educated from a young age, and had matured beyond my age level. It was a past time of mine to simply stroll through the streets of the Manhattan Village in which I presided. I would examine the sky, I would take in the street lamps, I was fascinated by the glow of the city, and imagined a future as great as the one I dreamt. There was a bench on the pathway that I enjoyed resting my fine buttocks on after a brisk walk through the village. As I sat there one day, legs crossed, I observed my surroundings and taking in the beauty of the oasis I had found. I stared up at one of the street lamps, noticing the space behind the bulb. I looked closer, and identified something incredible. I like to call it, NEGATIVE SPACE.
Negative space enhances drawings, and makes it easier for an artist to see the actual object, and really internalize it. I found the negative space by looking past the still life, and looking through the vail that is POSITIVE SPACE.

Negative Space
Posted by Kenny Nguyen in ART9-008 on Negative space is basically the shape of the object. The object is not seen, meaning that only the space around the object is seen. It forms the object because of the negative space around the object. I found the negative space in my cut-outs by doing an outline of it. It is quite complicated to explain the process of this. But I did a trace of one of the object to another paper, so I can find the negative space. Drawing the negative space of the stool is basically drawing the shape of the stool. The space around the stool are the negative space.
This also helps an artist to see the negative space when drawing, so that the artist can see the exact shape of the object that the artist is drawing. It can also enhances the drawing because you have the exact shape of the object already through negative space.

I found negative space in my cut out by cutting out all the different shapes out of a half sheet of paper and then I glued them on a full sheet and put all the negatives on one side and all the positives on the other side. I found negative space in my stool drawing by outlining the objects and the shading in the area outside of it.C. Why does it help an artist to see in negative space?

Negative Space is a drawing where you have to draw what you see the outline of the object not the whole thing then using your observations. Color or shade in the blank space or the negative space.

Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings, why or why not?
Some of the enhance drawing does have negative space because all drawing has to have some blank space in the drawing that can become the negative space.

Posted by Reginald Simmons in ART9-006 on1. Negative space is the space in a drawing that is not the drawing. The negative space would be the space in between the lines of the drawing. If you were to draw a tree in a field, the negative space would be everything but the tree itself.
2. In my drawing, I found negative space by looking in between the legs of the stool. In my cutout I found negative space by cutting out the shape, then cutting around the shape.
3. It helps an artist to see in negative space, because it gives them an even better understanding of what they’re drawing, and helps them to visualize the end product.
4. I think that seeing in negative space does enhance drawing, because it gives the artist a better understanding of what they’re doing.
Negative Space
Posted by Betty Louis in ART9-006 onWhat is negative space?
In art negative space is the space between or around the main object or image of the drawing.
Explain how you find the negative space in your cut out and your stool drawing.
I found the negative space in my cut out and in my stool drawing by focusing on the main image of the drawing and seeing that the air/space around it is just extra and unneeded pieces.
Why does it help an artist to see in negative space?
It helps an artist to see in negative space because it allows them to concentrate of the most important part of the piece making the drawing more effective.
Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings?
Seeing negative space can enhance drawings because you first able to see the shapes of what you're drawing and work up from there. With the actual shape of the drawing your basically have the form of object that your working on.Negative Space- Tang, Aaron
Posted by Aaron Tang in ART9-006 on
A. What is negative space (explain this
concept to a fourth grader that has never heard of it)?
Negative space is images that have no
lines connecting. The picture shows that the outer piece of the drawing is
going to be shaded which is the negative space. For example, there are white
and blue and the white part of the drawing is positive space. The black is
negative because of the background. When the image had no lines, it will call
it a silhouette.
B.
Explain how you found negative space in 1. Your cut out? 2. In
your stool drawing?
The cut out as shown below which is the
owl. To find out the negative space it, will be the dark blue one. I noticed
that the dark blue one is the background of the negative space. The light blue
one shows the shape of the owl, and the two colors will show a picture of my
image. For my second step of drawing, I drew stools by looking at the view. I
drew all the stools with lines connected, but at the end I erase the lines so
the picture can be a one unite. I shaded the remainder to make it negative
space. The white part is showing the positive space of the image.
C.
Why does it help an artist to see in negative space?
One reason why artist can see in the
negative space is giving a visual of the image. The positive and the negative
let people identify the picture. Without the details of the drawing, artists
can see what it is.
D. Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings,
why or why not
I think it is because people don't have to draw every little detail. With using
the technique of negative space and positive space, it will show a better
design. Also, people can visualize the image a lot faster.
