Compositional SketchesIn ProgressFinalQuestions
I think the craftsmanship was pretty good for the design and the transferring of the design to the linoleum. I had some small circles and squares which were a little hard to carve and keep them as small as I wanted. Overall, I think the carving and registration turned out well. -burnishing and ink coverage I think the ink coverage turned out well after the practices and figuring out how much ink I needed to use. The hardest part was lining up the prints and making sure they all looked right. It was also hard to not get the ink on the smaller pieces around the carvings. 2.How did you use texture, color harmony and balance to define your choice of subject?-texture I added texture by having the roof be two different colors to add dimension. I also added the small circles and squares to add more texture. -color harmony I tried to use colors that went well together and that were in the same color family. I also put it on white paper to make the colors stand out. --balance The design is symmetrical so both sides are pretty much the same. It was balanced because both sides are the same. 3.If you could recreate your pieces what would you do differently to enhance your final outcome?I would use different colors that went together better. I would also carve the outside of the design better so there aren’t as many lines on the outside.

We took a picture of candy that took up the majority of the paper and then we had to draw that. I used colored pencil and added different colors to add value.
In Progress PicturesFinalCritique Questions1.Describe the overall composition of your artwork (balance, unity, rhythm and movement).
My composition of the donut boxes had a balance of negative space and areas that were filled. I feel like by having some negative space it made it more balanced and appealing to the eye. 2. How did you use value to create dimension? Is this important? Why? I added value to the donuts by making the top look brighter and the lower you got it got darker. This gave the illusion that they were round. It is important because it makes it look more realistic and not as flat. 3.What did you achieve by using exaggerated color? Using exaggerated color allowed for the donuts to look more vibrant and realistic. Also by adding different colors you wouldn’t expect in the darker areas it helped add dimension. 4.Describe the craftsmanship of your colored pencil/chalk pastel. (How good the project is technically crafted)I think the craftsmanship of my colored pencil piece was very well as it showed dimension within each donut as well as with the boxes. I used lots of colors, which made it vibrant and what I was going for. 5.Were you able to achieve depth by showing a foreground, middle ground and back- ground? Explain.I was trying to get a birds eye view of the donut boxes so they were all the same distance away from the view. If I were to do it again I might make the boxes/donuts at different distances from the viewer. 6. Explain your experience with colored pencil/chalk pastel. What were the obstacles and advantages?Colored pencil is my favorite medium so far as you can really build up the color and they blend easily. It also allows for the most realistic looking. An obstacle was that it takes time to really build up the color |
