Art Term of the Month: Negative Space

Hello, August! This month, we will feature our next art term, “Negative Space.”

Sometimes the most important part of an artwork is the part you don’t immediately see. Negative space is the space around or between the subjects of an image – often overlooked, but essential to the composition, balance, and depth of a painting. Join us this month as we explore negative space across time, mediums and art genres.
