- Negative Space (or Positive Space)- Negative space, in art, is the space around and between the subject of an image. Negative space may be most evident when the space around a subject, not the subject itself, forms an interesting or artistically relevant shape, and such space occasionally is used to artistic effect as the "real" subject of an image.

(3) AMERICAN FLAG
In a few brief sentences, please explain what exactly do the stars, stripes, and colors present in the official flag of the United States of America symbolize?

The United States of America flag symbolizes our country becoming independent. The stripes symbolize the 13 colonies. The stars symbolizes the states. The colors and their significance still trace back to the birth of the country, and had very specific meanings in the creation of the Great Seal a year earlier.
