making negative a positive

What is Positive and Negative Space?

So positive space is simply an object..something solid,you can hold,touch,feel..Negative space is the area around it,the emptyness..

Here is the best way to describe it..

If you are seeing a vase, then you are seeing the white area as the positive space. The black areas become the negative space. If you are seeing faces, then you are seeing the black areas as the positive space, and the white area as the negative space.
