What is the difference between the positive area and the negative area in a work of art?
Area is actually called space. So it is negative and positive space. Positive space is the space that is taken by the objects. Negative space is everything else. You have probably seen the picture of two silhouette profiles of a face which look at each other. In the middle of the two faces you can see a vase shape. This is an illusion where negative and positive space flip back and forth in the viewers eye. If you are looking at the faces, the vase is considered the negative space. If you are looking at the vase, the faces become the negative space. Artists carefully consider the use of negative space and try to make the negative space as interesting as the positive space. You rarely see tiny objects in the middle of a huge canvas. It leaves too much negative space. Sometimes as an artist draws, he checks out the negative space as well as the positive to make sure he is rendering the objects correctly.
This characteristic is created by repeating positive shapes in space surrounded by negative areas of space.?

What is a negative surface area?
This isnt factual but I think its a clever way to think of this. positive surface areas cause something to go around the object, no surface area (empty space) you could go right through, so by thinking along those lines you could go through space faster than your actual velocity by passing through a negative surface area.
What is a negative - positive?
Negative * positive = negative Positive * positive = positive Negative * negative = positive
