Description: What is negative space and how do artists use it? Todays video will answer these questions and give you three projects using negative space to practice what you have learned. Negative space is the space around and between objects. Some artists use negative space as their subject, most use negative space to emphasize their subject. If you want to draw objects accurately, paying attention to the negative space can help you get your proportions and shapes more correct as you pay attention to what is in front of you and really observe it.
