Final Print

 

 

 

 

SELF EVALUATION

 

1.     Describe the overall composition of your artwork (balance, unity, rhythm and movement).

         The overall composition of my artwork I think was well balanced with a good variety of texture. The unity was good because the colors blended well together, and the rhythm and movement in it brought the image to life. Since I added texture to the different objects in my artwork it created more moavement through out the piece.

2.     How did you add texture and contrast to your print? Is this important? Why?

         I created texture by over exaggerating lines and creases in the objects in my piece. I usesd contrast between the colors I chose. I put the turqoise against a lighter color such as pink to really make my animal pop out. This was important to show life to my print and to really show what my animal was and where it was.

3.     Explain how you used positive and negative space to show your image.

         I used positive space with the turqoise and negative space with the pint. I used more positive space because the positive space made objects in my print really pop. The negative space I mainly used to show texture through out my piece. I believe that since I put less negative space in my print it made the texture pop out as well as the positve space.

4.     Describe the craftsmanship of your print. (How good the project is technically crafted)

         It took me a while to plan out my print technically. I spent a while designing the animal and then trying to create the perfect back ground that would go along with my animal. Then I had to plan out the positive and the negative space which took an even longer time to plan out. Then from there on the rest of my project was pretty simple.

5.     Were you able to achieve depth by showing a foreground, middle ground and back- ground? Explain.

         I achieve depth by showing the different sizes and shapes of objects in the foreground, middle gound, and background. I put my animal in the foreground and to show that I made my animal the largest. Then the water was the middle ground because the flamingo was standing in it. Then the grass in the background was shown by making it smaller with less noticeable texture. This created depth because it showed that my flamingo was in front with the rest of it's environment in the back.

6.     Explain your experience with Printmaking. What were the obstacles and advantages?
         My experience with Printmaking was not the best in the world. I had to overcome many challanges during this project. Such as creating such small texture in the background with the cutting utensiles. Also having to plan out the positive and negative space in my print. Yet some advantages I had in this project was drawing my animal with texture because I am pretty good at showing the texture in objects.
