Step 1: There’s alot of cool colors you decided to use, the background that stands out that looks like lights.

Step 2: You using eyeballs as flowers to describe as being unseen is very creative.

On work 1, the process I can see is inspiring on how you used hidden layers as a way of expression. Seeing the inside of the apple and that being a hidden message for layers of a person provides me a feeling of introspection. Some elements of art I noticed in this work are definitely color, the texture, and the space inside the apple. All three of these elements are extremely defined and stand out very well which makes this piece feel more expressive as a whole.

The elements of design I see in this artwork most prominently are the proportions of the apple, the emphasis, and again the color. There is also a fair amount of contrast which divides the inside of the apple from the outside, allowing for my eye to travel to every part.

I think you achieved putting lots of emotion into this artwork. The mood this artwork makes me feel the most is somewhere between reflection, and reminiscence. It reminds me of something deep inside myself.

Overall, this artwork is very successful in creating a strong mood and feeling, and the composition is very well put together as an entirety. As I’ve said before, the feelings this artwork instills in me is a calm reflection of my own being, and the elements of both art and design work together well in this piece.

# data[].attributes.body
Step 1: I love the colors you used,the details and how u create your artwork speaks to me that u love ur family and friends and how you show ur emotions thru art

Step 3: your artworks seems happy and cheerful and I feel the emotions thru ur art

Step 4: I honestly love your art the details the color contrast and the different textures u add to it seems so cool to me! But I would love to see more design but i love it!

Work #4 is a large, decent sized paper (12” x 9”) made with Prisma Colors (colored pencils) and a ruler. The main subjects of the work are the artist’s present and future self. You can see a house and clock that she is holding onto. The use of color, value, and texture is evident in the piece. Lighter colors are associated with her future self while darker colors make up the background and her present self, displaying contrast. The colored pencils give texture to her skin, house, and hair. I think the artist achieved conveying the emotions that come with letting go of the past. The composition ties into this, with her present self laying across the page holding on tightly to her childhood home. We then see her future self stretching from the background to offer a comforting hand, which appears large to show proportion, perspective, and movement. The meaning of the work, from what I can infer, is that dwelling in the past causes you to be stuck in a negative loop of emotions. I feel that this loop is symbolized by the clock, which goes round and round. You shouldn’t let these feelings linger because there’s always hope for the future. The artwork is successful in creating a strong theme of letting go, despite how difficult it may be, of the past and learning to move on.

Work 2 ! - Coco G

*Describing:

Size - 5in. by 5in.

Medium - Ink and Mechanical Pencil

Subjects - Eyeball surrounded by huge spirals, a open mouth, and layered spirals that create depth within the art.

3 Elements of Art -

Line: The Artist uses the element line to create this exaggerated and expressive spirals within the piece along with the facial features included.

Texture: The Artist uses the element texture through her process of adding extra marks to the lips and eye to give them a more realistic twist. Additionally, with the use of exaggerated lines, the spirals create almost a food looking twist, reminding me of layered onions.

Value: The Artist uses Value to create depth within her piece, the shadows on the lips, spirals and eye give it a more realistic and exciting look that’s interesting to look at.

*Analyzing:

Organization - The artist of this piece organized the piece by creating depth within the layered swirls, while leaving the eyeball and the mouth in the spotlight.

3 Principles of Designs -

Emphasis: The Artist expresses the principles of Emphasis within the lips and eyeball to create a striking contrast between the facial features and spirals. The eyeball and lips have a more realistic appearance compared to the layered spirals, so it adds a really nice touch that adds to the piece overall.

Unity: The Artist’s use of repeated spirals, consistent linework and stippling, and a limited color palette all work together to create a strong sense of unity, making the artwork feel visually cohesive.

Repetition: The Artist’s repeated use of a specific shape, texture, and line style creates a sense of visual repetition, making the entire composition feel cohesive and interconnected.

*Interpreting:

Description: The artwork uses a combination of an exposed eye, repetitive spirals, and a mouth that evokes a powerful emotional response centered on feelings of anxiety and a deep sense of internal struggle.

Symbolism: The image of the eye creates a symbol of tragedy and truth that’s constantly surrounded by the overwhelming forms of the spirals.

*Judging

View #2: The artwork that I viewed for my critique creates a significantly strong mood with the expressed spirals and facial features placed around the piece. I get an overwhelming expression of internal struggle of being constantly suppressed in negative situations.

I would really love to see some extra facial features and or more emotion expressed. I love your works and all the repetition placed in the piece, but I would love to see your experiment with color!

Work 2- Britney G

Describing:

I see thorns wrapped around a hand reaching out for something but it is restricting it, it seems almost like an overwhelming feeling having to be pushed off from your wants, which in a deeper level can see frustrating.

It 9.7 inches & 6.94

Digital for medium

Texture because there is a lot of detailed marks on the hand.

line because the lining of the art makes everything super neat.

form the way that the hand is in position to describe for it’s pushing away makes it give what its meaning is trying to tell.

Analyzing: I believe what the artist achieved in their art work was using specifically the thorns as the “restriction” a very brilliant idea.

Movement plays out in this piece a lot I can envision the arm moving towards the top while the thorns push the opposite way, color plays well too the hand being bright as representing hope on my side and the black on the thorns representing darkness and negativity.

The mood seems very overwhelming as I have said before and a very relatable piece anyone could deeply feel, since I believe anyone could look at this and think of a memory where they can connect to it.

Judging: over all the piece takes huge success and very understanding even without explanation, the artist did really well showing pain and restriction in this piece I will love to see thorns in their pieces more, it is very symbolic and a possibility; the artist can challenge themselves to make thorns seem as positive for future pieces.

Work 1 ! - Coco G

*Describing:

Size - height: 2in. width: 3in. depth: 4in.

Medium - Polymer Clay, Sculpting Tools and Acrylic Paint.

Subjects - A worn out doll face with multiple different worms crawling in and out of the sculpture.

3 Elements of Art -

Form: In this sculpture, the artist has used the element form by creating a figure with a distinct expressive form. It is not a flat image, but a solid object that can be viewed from all sides.

Space: The sculpture uses the element Space, in this artwork the artist uses both position space with all the physical material on the sculpture along with negative space all the empty areas. The way the worms intertwine and work with the piece while also leaving areas with nothing, allows all of it to almost play together and create a united piece.

Texture: The Artist uses texture as an element by incorporating lines on the doll’s face, moss like abrasions on the face, and the texture on the worms to give them a more realistic look. All of this texture used really helps the art speak for itself, I love all the different uses of texture within just one piece.

*Analyzing:

Organization - The Artist of this piece organized her artwork by creating a sense of unity, she uses the worms crawling in and out of the face and a senseless appearance on the face to create the work as a whole.

3 Principles of Designs -

Rhythm - The artist demonstrates rhythm through the repeated, flowing of the worms within the sculpture. The continuous and twisting worms are a visual repetition that really helps unite the piece. This restating of a single, fluid motif creates a sense of movement and repetition, making the worms feel almost dynamic and alive.

Unity - This artist uses unity by making all of the components of the sculpture feel as if they belong together. The continuous worms, which seem to be found all over the piece, links all of the parts of the artwork together. Additionally, with the use of texture all over the piece, it continuously unites the piece through the artist using different textures within all parts.

*Interpreting:

Description - The artwork is a three-dimensional sculpture, a grim doll face. It has a rough texture, giving it a weathered, moldy appearance. The color palette is muted and sickly, with a pale, grayish-tan for the face's base and patches of green that suggest decay or discoloration. Emerging from the face's surface are thick worms in muted colors of blue and purple. These worms are positioned in the eye sockets and mouth area, adding to the unsettling, creepy aesthetic. The overall form is lumpy and irregular, reinforcing the idea that it is old, worn, and perhaps deteriorating.

Symbolism: The doll, which used to be a clean surface, now looks gross and scary. The worms and the moldy parts symbolize decay and neglect. The artist is saying that when something is abandoned, it breaks down and gets "eaten away" by time.

*Judging

View #2: The artwork is very much successful in creating a strong mood of decay and something being changed overtime. I love the way all of it comes together to form this aged look, while also remaining to own single color palette.

As a change, maybe create a contrasting doll face to add onto the story more. You can making a newly manufactured doll, as a way to contrast the before to the after. I feel like that would be a really good touch to this piece, and create almost a timeline which I feel elevates the piece.

Step 1: It is a dark almost cyber punk background. With a chaotic dragon ripping through the city in the background with a calm looking character in the foreground. The colors are primarily pinks and blacks.

Step 2: What first drew my eye was the bright character almost looking angelic. Before it moved to the background with what appeared to be an eastern dragon mid violent action. All while in a pink haze

Step 4: while ment to be a perspective forward piece it almost comes off as a yin yang situation. With a calm human figure and a chaotic monster. The colors are beautiful and so is the lighting. Slightly adjusting the perspective lines however would definitely make it more realistic as some are skewed lightly.

you’ve got a really good grasp on your colors here, im digging all the patterns and textures you’re putting down especially on your fourth piece

as stated in the first one you really found a way to blend those patterns and colors well like in your second work and i like that gradient used in the background for the third piece.

for all of these pieces its like can really feel what you’re feeling with them like your 4th piece with your mind being all cluttered. i find myself Relating Deeply

overall your pieces all had good composition across multiple mediums and styles. i enjoy them lots.

# data[].attributes.body
Step 1: it’s seems to be a still life drawing of one of the studio hairdryers, with the brand name filling the background space.

Step 2: possibly a sketch made out of graphite or pencil. Focusing more on the words filling the background space and not much on the hairdryer itself.

Step 3: it doesn’t seem to try to be realistic or meaningful, focusing more on experimentation with filling space.

Step 4: the background and composition are quite nice, slightly feeling like pop art if it was in graphite. The only thing really is, is the definition on the hairdryer. Working more on that shadows and mid tones would give a lot of detail and make the hairdryer pop from the busy background.

# data[].attributes.body
1: I see a very on going and dull art style, it has many different techniques and mediums used. The process seems like there’s multiple steps towards it, like using different brush techniques and going through the whole drawing with multiple shades and shadows and adding lighter values in the drawing. It’s a very beautiful style in my eyes. Work two seems to show many objects such as a weapon, and nature. The size seems medium and very well laid out, like the space used up was very productive and perfect. I see shape, like the moon, the circle of the car lights noticing the fact that circles were also used up in the artwork to create shape, and the way the trees were made as well as human objects, I see texture, by the way the brush techniques were used? And I see value, a bunch of shading.

2: I think the artist used the composition by laying out where certain objects would go and the way the space was used in the drawing. There was definitely beautiful perspective added in and made the drawing come all together. Perspective was key in this artwork, even by the way the wolf was more on the upper side and the human was more on the lower side setting off a vibe. I noticed contrast, how one part of the drawing was based off of one color and the other part was based off a different color. I saw proportion by the size and the way the characters were laid out in the drawing. And I noticed variety by the way the wolf and human were genuinely attracted towards each other(not in a relationship kind of way.)

3: The work looks like it has HEAVY emotion and a genuine spooked out vibe. It gives off spooky and haunted vibes in a beautiful way. It also gives off a dark mood and heavy fighting vibe.

4: My viewing on it is the artwork is successful and genuinely creates a strong deep emotion when you’re just looking at it, being heavily focused and analyzing. You can see the fear and frustration the character has developed over the wolf and it gives off a good realistic emotion towards and actually human being like they’re alive in the artwork. You absolutely rocked it with this art piece and I am LIVING for it. The emotions are beautiful and feel absolutely real, like I can just feel what the character is feeling!

# data[].attributes.body
Step 1: I think the 10 by 10 size for the painting is perfect. Also the way you made textures with the acrylic paint like the fur and marks in the street. The angle that the animal is at is also captivating with the road. The paints used create contrast and also blend in together. It sends a message of how the road and possum kind of blend in, but it was the tail that was ran over.

Step 2: I like the emphasis on the tail creates a strong feeling. The movement in the street is also intriguing. The variety of texture and technique you used to create the fur is amazing.

Step 3: The mood is very isolating and wretched. It reminds me of a lot of real life scenarios with animals being run over and people just ignoring it, the way only the tail was ran over just shows that the situation could have been avoided.

Step 4: (view 2/3)

The emphasis, texture, and values all together makes this composition successful in creating a mood that can be relatable and reflected in the real word. The elements are also greatly applied to each other.

Work 1

1. This is a silly, painted piece with a cartoonish style grounded with just a hint of realism. There is an effective use of space with very minimal negative space and an excellent use of colors with the pink at the center adding emphasis among the neutrals of the subject.

2. There is noise and emphasis to this piece, giving it life and humor. It is well composed with a clear focus and balance among the features of the face. This includes a successful use of emphasis on the noise and facial expression and proportions which added a sense of comedy.

3. The mood of this piece is very silly, joyful, noisy, and fun. There is a lot of humor in this lighthearted and fun piece.

4. Above the other views, it successfully amuses above all. It’s a piece that just has so much to say, and knowing how much this animal means to you, seeing your other work. Part of being funny is also that this animal is something that has significance, thus like your other pieces represents a big part of you that is humorous, cheerful, and loud.

all of your pieces have a very clear subject and my eye just moves from place to place looking from one thing to the next. you’ve clearly got a great grasp on your medium. the color sets a mood throughout each piece.

you’ve got great harmony in everything and as stated in the last section really good direction too. all the expressions of the people are good too and i can really see the emotion on their faces.

i look at all of these pieces and its totally reminding me of like a loading screen. this is totally something i stare at while im loading into a game like project zomboid or something like that.

overall i loved these pieces. each one sets a different tone and im really into it. the composition is stellar and i am Eager to see more.

# data[].attributes.body
Step 1: I see lots space and I like how it’s just plain graphite and a kind of flat looking point of view.

Step 2: The more I look the more random things I see, looking at one figure to another, it’s completely different. Like nothing is similar and I like how it looks like something you’d see out of a comic book, like if you ripped out a page and drew what was on that page.

Step 3: You’re work tells me and even shows me you’ve got such a complex mind, whatever you think of you can draw, no need of reference or pictures, your figures, the symbols, and everything is just pure.

Step 4: It also tells me you don’t need a deep meaning to draw something, whatever flows through your brain to the paper is just great. I’d like to see even more figures and more shadows to add contrast. Also more randomness in the negative space to bring that more chaotic feeling with so many different things going on.

Step 1: Describe ; I love the way you captured your silliness in your artwork by morphing your face, the colors you used I feel they give a very happy personality and really show who you are as a person. You used color,texture and space in this art piece.

Step 2: Analyze ; you used emphasis,color, and proportion in your piece. You used these with the elements color,texture,and space.

Step 3: interpreting; your work gives me a very jolly giddy feeling, your use of yellow and pink/purple gives off such a happy feeling, especially when your skin is yellow I feel like that gives you the jolly mysterious look. Knowing you personally this work gives everything that you are.

Step 4: judging ; overall I think this piece successfully gives a radiant beam of emotions !

Work 1:

Describe-

The height is 8.5 in and the width is 5.5 in. It is created with black micron pens which were used to outline the watercolor paint. It features a representation of the artist’s head on top of a wound-up jack-in-the-box. You can see the elements of color, line, and texture within this piece.

Analyze-

The jack and the box with the artists head is the main focus of the piece. Within this artwork you can see the elements of space, especially in the empty space on the right side of the piece, which emphasizes how the artist is looking in that direction at something out of frame, presumably whoever wound up the jack-in-the-box. There is emphasis on the face, which is painted the brightest color in the piece, and there is unity created in the way the blue-green of the hand that’s wound-up the jack-in-the-box ties into the blue-green of the artist’s hair.

Interpret-

The serious expression of the face contrasts with the whimsical nature of the drawing of such an odd fictional situation, and an almost tense mood is created by the expression of the face and the way it’s looking at something out of view from the viewers.

Judge-

I think the artwork is pretty successful in creating an interesting contrast in the whimsical mood conveyed by the situation and the more serious mood conveyed by the facial expression. The mood and ideas conveyed by the piece could also be further played around with by changing the facial expression or the place the eyes are looking.

Work 5:

Describe-

The height of the piece is 6 in and the width is 17 in. It is created with pastels and black charcoal. The artist sketched the outline with charcoal and pastel then filled in the background. The work shows a music bar and three people listening to the music. Elements of color are present in the choice to make the background bright orange and the people and music a contrasting blue and green. Line is utilized in the people and the music bar and space is utilized in between the people and the music.

Analyze-

Principles of art used throughout the piece include movement, which is created in the way viewers eyes are drawn across the piece by the music bar, giving the impression the people along the bottomed are one in in the same and we’re seeing them move like a stop motion movie across the piece to the music. Unity is created through the even spacing of the people and the music bar, with the uniform orange background tying them together. Balance is also created through the even spacing of the subjects.

Interpret-

The piece has an uplifting and energetic mood, created by the bright orange and the jagged lines of music, as well as the facial expressions of the people. The music has a central role in the piece, shown by the music bar featuring along the top and the headphones all the people are wearing. The energetic and uplifting mood of the piece and the people in the piece can be assumed to be because of the music.

Judge-

This piece is successful in the way it very strongly portrays the artist’s passion for music to the viewers.

1. I really like the watercolors you used around the unicorn expressing a joyful passionate mood. Then in the middle how the black depressing like unicorn is so detailed with charcoal is super nice.

2. I see you used color, value and some texture in your artwork. Especially in the watercolor background. The value you used to create a realistic effect for the unicorn is also crazy!

3. I see how your 5th Work looks joyful with the beautiful watercolors you used but it also gives a feeling of misery and unhappiness with how the unicorns are drawn with dark charcoal. I really like how it makes you feel two different emotions going on at the same time.

4. My viewing on this artwork is successful with beautiful deepness behind it. The way you used a mix of joyful colors and dark depressing colors is so expressive. It’s a really cool way to show your feelings and background.

Step one : The girl you drew holds lots of emotion and the flowers add almost a border from the girl to the end of the page. You used lots of color and it makes it almost pop, I also see you have lots of color values, adding more depth and life to your drawing.

Step 2: Work two was organized with a high contrast of colors and balance. The colors all complement each other very well, the pops of yellow in the hair unify everything together. This might be a stretch but the way the hair takes up most of the page kinda emphasizes the colors throughout the piece.

Step 3: the colors I see are red, yellows, light brown, green,and purple. But all of the colors are very happy and exciting. It makes the piece seem joyful and a bit suspenseful. The woman looks excited, further adding to the joyful atmosphere.

Step 4: view2 : The work used nice color schemes. The colors add and an excitement feel to it, it made me happy.

# data[].attributes.body
Work 3:

Describe-

The height is 23 in and the width is 48 in. It features a flower framed by glowing neon. It was created with chalk pastel then the colors were enhanced with the iPad. The flower is the main focus of the piece. Line and is used in the neon light that frames the flower. Color is used in the choice of the blue for the flower and the pink for the light.

Analyze-

Principles used throughout the piece include pattern in the red dotted background. Emphasis is created with the neon light framing the flower, and the neon light also creates unity by framing the flower and tying it into the reddish-pink dotted background.

Interpret-

The piece has a contemplative or reflective tone, conveyed by the flower in front of a dark and bare background, reminiscent of deep space. This absence of anything but the flower and the neon framing gives the viewer nothing else to think about.

Judge-

The piece is successful in encouraging a contemplative mood in viewers, the artist states their aim was to convey how nature persists into the modern world, which comes across well in the unity between the flow and neon frame.

# data[].attributes.body
Work 5:

Describe-

The height is 6 in and the width is 5 in. It was created with black and white charcoal pencil on black paper, the artist started by building value up then adding white on top. They use elements of value in their shading, space in blacked out parts of the face, and line in the strings of the cello that cut through the center of the piece.

Analyze-

Principles used include emphasis on the white color and lower face. There is rhythm and movement in the curve of the hand which contrasts with the harsh line of the cello, and there is unity created by the black background framing the cellist.

Interpreting-

There is a serious and passionate mood conveyed in the piece through the black and white color scheme and the absence of a clearly defined face on the cellist, symbolizing their focus on their music.

Judge-

The artwork is not only successful in that it is very realistic, but it also does a good job in conveying the serious, contemplative, and passionate mood of the cellist as they play their music.

The way you use the graphite makes makes the castle look edgy, or as if it’s seen its fair share of conflicts. Then the rocks cover the bottom, making it a tad more landscape. Everything is quite balanced, making the whole thing look complete.

I feel the mood is slightly somber (due to the grays), but also awe-inspiring. You want to see more. Maybe the history of the castle, the events and conflicts it’s seen… etc. You can see the bricks well, which makes the building look intricate and real. This was quite successful. No doubt about it.

# data[].attributes.body
Work 4:

Describe-

The height is 5 in, the width is 8 in, and the depth is 10 in. The work features a bouquet of pink flowers made of pipe cleaners, hot glue and wire. Elements such as line, conveyed through the pipe cleaners that make up the flowers, value in the varying shades of pink in the flowers, and shape in the varying shapes of the flower petals.

Analyze-

Principles used include unity in the way the flowers are tied together by the varying shades of pink, pattern and repetition formed by the repeating lines of pipe cleaner that form the petals, and balance created through the choice of color, with the biggest flower being the darker pink and the two smaller flowers being lighter shades to balance it out.

Interpret-

There is an overall lighthearted mood conveyed through the pastel colors and the subject being flowers, both of which typically having positive associations.

Judge-

The piece is successful through its well executed composition. The shapes and colors of the flowers go well together and their arrangement helps further balance the piece.

# data[].attributes.body
-The size of the work is 12x9 inches and using a mechanical pencil to draw her piece she started by sketching the idea then adding more details into her piece. The main subjects I see it the castle and the rocks I also see the artist incorporated value, space, and form in the back you can see negative space and see value within the main subjects and form within the castle.

- The artist achieved the detail within her architectural drawing. I notice that the rocks take up 50% of the piece while the castle takes up the rest. Some principles of design she included repetition in the castle texture w/ some added value , she also balance in her composition, and also included a variety of forms and sizes of the towers.

-The piece gives me a gloomy dark mood the value and the lack of color the rocks make it seem threatening due how tall they are.

- The artwork could have enhance the mood more by getting rid of the negative space and adding a storm cloud or something to make the mood more gloomy.

- This piece is 8in. tall and 9in. wide the medium they used is ink on orange paper to create their piece . The process of creating this is exaggerating hatching technique to create an owl incorporating space around the owl , value w/ the face & wings , and texture belly of the owl making it look poofy.

-The artist achieved the form of the owl with just hatching techniques. The artist has the owl off to the right side meanwhile the rest of the piece is just negative space. In their work they included emphasis the owl being the focal point, contrast with the black and bright orange, and texture to make its wings appear like feathers.

-This artwork appears to be mysterious the owl looking right at the audience the eyes looking into our souls like it knows something we don’t.

-The artwork is successful if it creates a strong mood or feeling the artist idea was “unique types of pollution affecting each habitat’s ecosystem.” In their piece they could have included pollution in the negative space to tell the audience that their work is about pollution effecting the ecosystem.

# data[].attributes.body
Step 1: Describing

(Size, Medium, and Process)

This is a digital painting (19×15 inches), created using Photoshop on a tablet. The artist used a sketch, a color gradient, and played with dramatic lighting to set the scene.

(Subjects and Objects)

The main subjects are a terrified man holding a revolver and a monstrous werewolf looming directly behind him. The werewolf has glowing orange eyes and its claws rest on a car hood. The scene is set in a dark forest under an orange moon.

(Elements of Art)

Color: The palette is dark (reds, browns, blues). The bright orange-red of the moon and the werewolf's eyes creates high contrast, emphasizing danger.

Value (Light/Dark): Extreme contrast is used. A harsh, bright light hits the figures, making them intensely visible against the black shadows of the background, creating drama.

Texture: The artist implies rough, thick fur on the werewolf versus smooth, reflective metal on the car/gun. This highlights the raw, animalistic nature of the threat.

Step 2 analyzing

(Artist's Achievement)

The artist succeeded in making the piece look like a horror movie poster. The intense lighting and clear action create a terrifying, visually striking, and dramatic moment of confrontation

(Compositional Organization)

The artwork is organized by a strong diagonal line (werewolf and car) that guides the eye from the light and the man's fear (bottom right) toward the threat (top left). Placing the werewolf in the upper half makes it loom over the man, creating a feeling of claustrophobia.

(Principles of Design)

Emphasis/Focal Point: The brightest light hits the man's horrified face and the gun, making the central point of action and terror the main focus.

Contrast: Extreme use of light vs. dark values and the opposition between the man's fear and the werewolf's rage creates a high-impact scene.

Movement: The dynamic poses (man recoiling, werewolf striking) imply a quick, sudden action that is about to happen.

Step 3 interpreting

(Mood and Meaning)

The mood is intensely terrifying and full of despair. The meaning is about raw, existential horror: being trapped in a terrifying situation where survival looks impossible against an overwhelming, destructive force.

Symbolism

Werewolf: A classic symbol of uncontrollable, savage nature and primal fear

Revolver: Symbolizes a futile, last-ditch attempt at self-defense.

Dark Forest/Red Moon: Symbolize a setting where rational rules are gone and a dangerous, supernatural world has taken over.

Step 4 (judge)

Aesthetic View #2: Content

This artwork is highly successful based on the Content view because it creates a strong mood and feeling.

The artist's masterful use of light, shadow, and color successfully generates an atmosphere of pure, unadulterated fear and panic. The viewer doesn't just look at the scene; they feel the imminent threat of the creature and the terror of the man. The artwork fully succeeds in its goal of conveying the intense content and atmosphere of a horror story.

Work 3!

Step 1: Describing

Size, Medium, and Process: The artwork is small, measuring inches high by inches wide. The medium is ink on orange paper, using fine-tipped Pigma Micron pens (, , and). The process involved using exaggerated hatching and stippling (dots) techniques to build the image.

Subjects and Objects: The main subject is a stippled owl shown against a bright orange background. The owl has large, dark eye circles and appears composed entirely of dense black dots and ink lines. The overall impression is textured and slightly abstract.

Elements of Art:

Line: The entire image is built from thousands of tiny lines and dots (hatching/stippling). These simple lines are layered to create all the form and shading.

Shape: The artwork clearly shows the organic shape of an owl, but the shape's edges are soft and fuzzy due to the dot technique.

Color: The use of only black ink on bright orange paper creates a strong, simple contrast. This limited color choice emphasizes the texture and the concept.

Step 2 analyzing

(Artist's Achievement).   The artist successfully defined the owl using only the stippling technique (dots and lines) and effectively linked their interest in animal pollution to the visual outcome.

(Composition).     The owl is placed centrally on the canvas, making it the immediate focus. The heavy ink buildup at the bottom gives the image a sense of weight and grounding.

Principles of Design

1.       Texture: The stippling technique creates a rough, gritty visual texture across the owl's body, which is key to the artwork's feeling.

2.       Emphasis: The solid black eyes are immediately emphasized, capturing the viewer's attention and communicating the owl's strong presence.

3.       Variety: The work shows variety in ink density—from dense black (eyes, bottom) to lighter dots—which creates the illusion of form and light.

Step 3 interpreting

Mood and Meaning

The mood is intense and stark. The gritty texture creates a feeling of vulnerability and raw exposure. The meaning is about environmental pollution, suggesting the animal is being damaged or fragmented by its habitat issues.

Symbolism

The Owl: Represents wildlife and the natural environment.

Gritty Texture: Symbolizes the impact of pollution and contamination.

Orange Background: Suggests a disrupted or toxic habitat.

Step 4: Judging

Aesthetic View #3: Composition

This artwork is successful based on the Composition view because the artist successfully used the elements and principles to make a good composition. The dense texture created by the line/stippling element is balanced by the empty orange space. The central emphasis on the owl's eyes and the variety in ink density create a well-organized and compelling visual statement.

Step 1;describing: I see a drawing or a bear feeling left out and being alone. I see that you used pencil and just a sketchbook. The elements you used were line,space,and shape.

Step 2; analyzing: you organized your artwork by giving a lot of space for everything and the layout of the drawing. With line you used that on your whole drawing and used very a  persiste mind of where to put things. And shape on everything as well for the cake and birthday hat.

Step 3;interpreted; I love your drawing and I love the way you drew it, your work gives off a very sad and lonely feeling. The bear representing just being alone and being excluded from everything on its birthday shows the feeling of depression and and isolation. Especially on his birthday and just being left out on everything has a big impact on this drawing.

Step 4; judging: your artwork successfully creates a strong mood of isolation and depression. I love love love this !

# data[].attributes.body
Work #5 is 8 x 9 inches made on paper with a sketching pencil and ink pens. The main subject of the work is the person, with a close up perspective on their face. Line is the most obvious element, using dark, thick lines on the facial features and hair. The cross-hatching technique is used to create shadow and form, seen in the wrinkles and around the eyes. Contrast between the dark hair and white background, which makes up the skin. I believe the artist achieved creating a dramatic, stressed, and intense look that reflects their emotions while illustrating it. The artwork gives a close up view of the subject’s face, focusing on the eyes and mouth. This composition displays emphasis by adding the most detail and shading to the eyes, adding to the expression of intense emotions. The repetitive lines used for hatching creates rhythm throughout the piece and the wavy lines seen in the hair creates a sense of movement. The artwork shows great expression of stress and internal struggles. Heavy, frantic lines symbolize and embody the agitation the artist experienced. The gritted teeth and strain on the face represent the effort of suppressing tense emotions. I would say the piece was highly successful in conveying these feelings and helps viewers understand where the artist is coming from. I love that you found a way to get your emotions out on a page and your style is a great inspiration for my ink pieces in the future.

Step 1:i see you used alot of contrasting symbolism with characters and setting.in work one you used color and shape to convey a disordered background while still keeping the message of keeping your interests in mind.

Step 2:I noticed a kind of emphasis in work 4, i viewed it as since theres so much going on it almost made me feel overwhelmed which could be how that feeling of being watched could feel like which you tried to convey.

Step 3:Alot of your work made me feel like theres little things that people dont usually percieve in the way you do. You truly communicated your own type of individuality.

Step 4:your work is very successful in how you are trying to show your opinions or just silly things you came up with.i believe your work is very good and shows alot of your own personality.

# data[].attributes.body
Step 1:i see alot of marker work i believe you have a very good understanding on how to use them and layer them correctly.i like that in alot of your works you stick to a very soft color scheme that isnt dull but doesnt hurt the eye along with shapes and lines.

Step2:Your movement in work 3 of the womans body emphasizes her mystery.the soft contrast of the woman and the background gives a nice and alluring vibe

Step 3:your art very much gives me a comforting and gentle mood.i love your diversity shown in your art and how you embody alot of culture in your art.

Step4: your art is very successful in its ideas and colors. your understanding of marker use and color truly lifted your art.

# data[].attributes.body
1: I see very outlined lines and certain shading on various parts of the drawing. The size seems medium and there’s some spaces that have been left alone but some spaces that have been used directly for the drawing. The process seems very little but in the end adds up. I see sketching, outlining, and shading throughout the drawing. Some subjects I see is a firey aura and I don’t necessarily see objects but definitely a creature. Elements I see are line, shape, and space. The line was used to create the final subject, the shape was used to create different aspects, and the space was used to form a certain size.

2: I think the artist achieved shading for sure, it looks very well done and definitely adds to the drawing! The composition used looks like it was mainly focused on the posing of the character. Some principles I see is proportion, movement, and unity. It seems like the proportion was used to create different sizes with the character, the movement looks like it was apart of the shading how its flowing certain ways, and the unity looks like it has been combined with the drawing within the elements.

3: The artwork looks outgoing and strong, like the character has so much power and is very confident with itself. The character looks like it holds huge power especially with the fire on the tail and the way it looks. The way its mouth is open like its roaring shows how fierce the character looks as well.

4: The artwork looks successful and holds a strong feeling. You did very well creating a feeling within the artwork! I absolutely adore Pokémon and I recommend you keep drawing these characters but adding your own twist to it.

Work 5

Step 1 - Describing:

The height of the art work is 8 in and the width is 9 in. The artwork was made digitally, the artist used the harsh colors and scribbles to convey the feeling of stress and overwhelming emotions the artist was feeling. The subject of the artwork is a little toy dog crying and being overwhelmed. Three elements of art used in this art work are color, line, and space.

Step - 2 Analyzing:

I think the artist achieved portraying the intense emotions and showing them to the audience very well. The artist has the dog slightly off center and surrounded by hard colorful scribbles. The three principles of art the artist uses are repetition with all the scribbles, emphasis with the emphasis on the dog being the center of it all, and balance and alignment with the way the artist creates a certain aesthetic in the art piece.

Step - 3 Interpreting:

The mood the artwork is portraying is overwhelming emotions and stress that is felt on a bad day.

The symbolism of the scribbles and harsh colors show the overstimulating mood of the artwork and the crying dog represents how all of those feelings affect them.

Step - 4 Judging

The artwork is based off a toy dog that represents the artist. The toy isn’t realistic and the artwork doesn’t have an exact realistic look or color choice, either way it’s very stylistic and charming. The artwork does a good job conveying the strong emotion the artist is feeling and the mood definitely shows the intense and overwhelming feelings the dog is being subjected to. The artwork uses the elements and principles very well. I think that a way to make the artwork a bit more interesting is to have a bit more emphasis on the dog and maybe different patterns in the background, overall the artwork does a very good job on what it’s trying to portray and show.

# data[].attributes.body
Work 4

Step 1 - Describing:

The height of the art work is 11.5 in and the width is 7 in. The artwork was made traditionally, the artist used black paper and white graphite to add value and give the artwork a dark auto. The subject of the artwork a dog sitting in the dark in front of a door that isn’t entirely open or shut with light shining through onto the ground. Three elements of art used in this art work are value, space, and line.

Step - 2 Analyzing:

the artist did a good job at leaving the meaning of this art piece open to interpretation. the artist drew a dog in a dark environment with the only thing lighting up the room being the door in front of the dog with the light shining through the slight opening. The three principles of design the artist uses are contrast with the darkness contrasting against the door and light, emphasis with the emphasis being on the dog and the light shining through the door, and unity by having everything be simple but still have small details.

Step - 3 Interpreting:

The mood the artwork is portraying is a somber and gloomy environment. There’s no exact meaning behind the artwork, the artist left it specifically to be interpreted differently by anyone.

The symbolism of the door and light can either be a hopeful or tragic experience. The door could be opening up to the dog, revealing a hopeful light, or the door could be shutting, leaving the dog in a dark despair.

Step - 4 Judging

The artwork isn’t incredibly detailed but it still remains slightly realistic. The artwork does a good job at capturing different emotions and perspectives of the artwork. It really makes you think what this artwork represents and how people interpret it based on their own experiences and beliefs. The artwork’s composition is very simple with the dog and door being the direct focus of the artwork. The values and contrast make the simple artwork has a very dark atmosphere that isn’t entirely in your face but not too simple which is very refreshing.

# data[].attributes.body
work 2:

Step 1: I like the bright colors you used with the oil pastels. And also using a black background to make them standout.

Step 2: The yellow shape that’s in the chest of the drawing really stood out to me because it speaks a lot about the drawing.

Step 3: The colors could really be used to describe different emotions from the one’s body which is what I really liked.

Step 4: I liked how you didn’t just used basic colors but a different range of colors for everything.

# data[].attributes.body
Work 3

Step 1 - Describing:

The height of the art work is 9.5 in and the width is 7.5 in. The artwork was made traditionally, the artist used notebook paper, a pen, and a sticky note. The subject of the artwork are two figures, a smaller full body and a more up close head and shoulders one. Three elements of art used in this art work are value, line, and texture.

Step - 2 Analyzing:

The artist created something very intricate but it really doesn’t show much of what the art means, but the artist did achieve of creating good values and contrast. The artist drew to figures, one in the back and one closer to the audience. The composition is straight forward and there’s isn’t an exact main subject that’s being put emphasis on. The three principles of design the artist uses are proportion with the way the figures are different sizes, pattern with the symmetrical shapes on one of the figures face, and balance with the weight of the pen strokes like the line art and words.

Step - 3 Interpreting:

The mood the artwork is giving is a slightly unsettling feeling with the figures being slightly intimidating and harshly drawn. The meaning of the artwork is to show the issues and I’m guessing feelings the artist felt while being in the psych ward. I personally don’t really see that, I honestly wouldn’t know what the artwork would be about without the artist telling us.

The symbolism of the messy art style shows how the artist was tormented by their issues and I’m guessing the feeling of putting all that frustration onto paper to represent them.

Step - 4 Judging

The artwork isn’t necessarily realistic. It does have some human anatomy but it isn’t incredibly realistic and more stylized in the artist’s art style. The artwork does have a messy and intense mood to it ,but doesn’t really show what the artist was trying to convey. It does have a slight unsettling mood which is something that the artist did well on. The artist did use the elements and principles very well, especially the values. The artist could’ve used emphasis to have a direct subject in the artwork but overall it’s a very stylized piece that is very surprising that it was made with a pen on notebook paper.

# data[].attributes.body
Work 1

Step 1 - Describing:

The height of the art work is 10 in and the width is 8 in. The artwork was made traditionally, the artist used a mechanical pencil and micron marker, the artwork is colored but they don’t mention what material they used. The subject of the artwork is a prisoner with monstrous features. Three elements of art used in this art work are shape, color, and line.

Step - 2 Analyzing:

The artist did a great job with creating a very stylistic and creative character with a very interesting idea and meaning behind it. The composition of the artwork has a character in the middle of the page, there’s isn’t much of a background but it’s definitely a choice to have the character be the main focus. The three principles of design the artist uses are proportion with both the human and monster anatomy, emphasis with the emphasis being on the monster features, and pattern with the repeating stripes and eyes.

Step - 3 Interpreting:

The artwork has a slightly shameful mood with the artist was trying to portray with the design of the prisoner how they are viewed negatively. The meaning of the artwork is to show the discrimination prisoners face, and how society views them as monsters, but at the end of the day they are just humans who make mistakes. I personally really like this meaning and the artwork does a great job showing how society views prisoners by giving the prisoner monstrous features but still keeping some human anatomy. The symbolism of the chains and monstrous features symbolize the shame and discrimination that prisoners experience.

Step - 4 Judging

The artwork does have realistic human anatomy, but it’s stylization is based off of cartoons. The artwork doesn’t really convey a intense mood, it has a meaning and the artwork is very good but its mood doesn’t take over the entire art piece. The art work has a shameful feeling to it from the way the prisoner is shielding themselves. The artist used the elements and principles pretty well, maybe they could’ve been more diverse and included a more interesting background, but overall it’s a good art piece. I really enjoy the art style and the idea of the art piece, but I think with more detail and a background the mood could be more intense and noticeable.

Step 1: I see some clouds all over the piece with some lightning with a hint of purple with the use of value and texture with the clouds, and the use of space where the cliff with a person sitting seems so high up in the sky

Step 2: The longer I look it’s like I can hear the thunder or the wind, and looking at the woman just sitting there it seems like she doesn’t care with the weather that’s going on around her. Like if she fears nothing. I also like how the only color is the purple to make the lighting stand out

Step 4: You’re work tells me that you can give off this mystery feeling and that you’re a person who can show emotions through imagery. This piece is quiet, but yet powerful.

Step 5: I really like this piece, I think to give it that more chaotic weather feeling is making the lighting more bold or thicker, maybe even a lighter purple to give that bolt look and make it stand out even more

1. This artwork has biblical themes that explain the story of Eve resisting the Serpent’s temptation to eat the apples. The medium that was used is digital on Procreate, and I see two subjects in this artwork that draw my attention- the woman, and the snake. Three elements of art I immediately notice are value, space, and color. Value because I can see how th3 lighting of the piece highlights the important parts, space because of the two subjects against the dark background, and color because the color brings the piece forward tremendously.

2. I think the artist has achieved instilling a sense of partial resistance, and the feeling of temptation. When I look at the woman’s face, and her reaching for the apples, I can tell she is tempted to listen to the snake but feels as if she will regret the action. The composition, or organization of this artwork is shown through the figures represented in the work. Woman, and snake. Three elements of design I noticed are contrast, movement, and emphasis. Contrast because the shading and background bring the woman and snake forward, movement because I can see the woman reaching for the apples, and emphasis because the dark coloring and muted composition help to imbue the feeling of regret.

3. The mood of this artwork- as mentioned before, feels like it could be trying to instill temptation, regret, and even guilt. I can feel how the woman is feeling by looking at her expression, and how she reaches for her necklace makes me think she almost doesn’t want to go through with what she’s about to do.

4. All in all, I believe the artwork is successful because based on my general analysis, the mood brings the piece out a lot. I can feel exactly how the woman is feeling- temptation. If I could recommend a change, I think changing the black shading would help to make the piece pop a lot more. While it adds contrast, it almost makes the woman feel not as alive. Using color theory to determine what color you should shade with helps a lot, and I think it would help you moving forward with your already eye catching artwork.

# data[].attributes.body
Step 1: The height of the artwork is 8 inches in height and 6 inches in width. There is a sword stuck in a rock with mountains in the background and a grassy hill beside them.

Step 2: The artist organized the piece to where the sword was in front of the mountains, making the sword look like it is as big as the mountains. The artists layout of the artwork is to put the sword to the right to allow you to see the mountains in the background.

Step 3: The mood of the artwork to me is accomplished, because the sword in the stone makes it look like a battle has just been fought. It does not tell you who has won the battle, also giving the artwork a sense of depressing or overwhelming.

Step 4: The artwork is successful because it created a strong mood towards melancholy. The underlying tones of sadness and depression are almost outshined by the overpowering sense of accomplishment and magnificence.

# data[].attributes.body
Step 1: The height of the artwork is 19 inches and the width is 15 inches. The artwork shows an injured and afraid man hiding behind a car from a savage werewolf with glowing eyes.

Step 2: The artist organized the artwork to make it look like the werewolf overpowers the man and is close to finding him. The artist put the werewolf on top of the man as if to make it look like he already knows where he is and is just playing with his prey/food.

Step 3: The mood of the artwork is fearful, because the man looks damaged and injured from a previous battle with the werewolf. He looks afraid to have another encounter with the werewolf because it might be his last. The werewolf looks accomplished with his work and probably thinks it is easy pickings for him now.

Step 4: The artwork is successful to me because the way the artist composed the artwork made me feel distressed and worried. Making me feel like I’m in the guy in the artworks shoes. The way the artist put the wolf above the man makes it look like there is no hope for the man and the werewolf is closing in on him.

1) Work #3, the art work is 5 inches in height and 6 inches in width, it was created through black paper and charcoal pencils. It depicts a man slumped over playing the piano with an expressive face. I can see value and texture was used in this piece.

2) I can see that the man in the art piece is moved by the music he’s creating. He’s passionate about music, more specifically the piano. This is expressed with the emphasis on the man’s face, almost like he’s completely focused on the piano and forgetting the world around him. The proportion of the man’s body helps the idea that he’s moved by music, the way he’s slumped over the piano. Makes it seem like the only support on his body is his hands on the piano.

3) The meaning of the work to me, is the emotional connection a musician creates within their instrument. The artist using black paper helped the musicians face stand out more and creating almost a restless look. The mood feels like extreme relaxation and melancholic with how at peace he looks, almost like he’s in the zone.

4) The artist was successful at creating a composition that used value, proportion, and movement all in one piece to create a strong emotion of relaxation within the subject.

Work 3

This artist used a 11 by 9 art panel. The artist used photos, collage, ibisPaint, lettering and an Apple Pencil. This artist experimented with drawing on top of a collage. There is a cat which is the biggest subject in the page, along with the tv across from it. Postal stamps on the top right corner. Three elements of art is shape from the outline, texture in the background the zebra pattern and color. Using red and blue for a symbol of maybe politics?

My eyes draw toward the cat especially when the cats mouth is open, it gives it the exaggeration. The lettering “Don’t listen” is by the tv because the news is coming out of the TV. The artist used unity by using a lot of elements making chaotic but calm at the same time. The artist also used movement in the piece by the colors blue “screaming” at the cat. The red and blue contrast each other and they look like political colors. Universal in the united state blue is democrat and red is republican.

The mood looks like the cat which is the main subject is shocked but don’t listen is a symbolism. The author says that the ideas is the news effecting the cat opinions so maybe the cat is changing opinions because the cat is shocked hearing things.

The artwork is successful because it creates a strong mood of the cat being shocked, the art work is very exaggerated and the colors are “screaming at each other”. I like the work personally it shows a lot of symbolism.

I see your work 4 has a really cool clay salmon, and the background is made of cardboard. It also has a unique showing of the inside of the fish.

I love the inside of the fish, especially the colors and lines you specifically made. Also the shape of the fish head looks very realistic.

I really like the idea you had how, “Salmon are known to swim upstream against everything only to die in the end after they succeed.” This gives a really depressing but determined mood.

This artwork is successful because it makes you feel interest with just one glance and the idea makes you feel multiple emotions at one time.

Work #3, is 5.5 inches in height and 7 inches in width, it was created with white charcoal pencil, black pencil, and red/blue pastels. It’s a blue swirl in the background with a character coming into the center. I can see the use of space, line, and color was used when creating this work.

The blue swirl in the background makes me think the character shown is spiraling or falling into this swirl/ tunnel and we’ve only gotten a glimpse of their journey. The movement of the swirl really takes this art work far because it makes me feel like I’m spinning the more I look at it or being drawn in just like the character.

I’d interpret this artwork as out of this world, feeling like your spinning in ur own head separate from the present. I think this because the character is exaggerated and abnormal, and the background gives a sense of mystery as to what is at the end of this spiral or maybe it keeps going. I also think perhaps the feeling it’s giving is psychedelic, the character looks pretty rockstar, maybe he dabbles in some silly substances.

The artist was successful in the composition they used in their artwork through the movement, pops of color, and line in the artwork.

Work 5

This artist used craft paper with 24 by 18. They used chalk pastels for this art piece and their process was to be creative and draw a cat. There is a big fish in the middle, sun, dad and a mom, clouds. They use lines to show movement. They implemented very bright colors to stand out and simply shapes since it was the design.

The artist achieved the artwork as being chaotic but still fun and silly. She explained being creative in a different way. This artist used different variety through out the artwork, like people, fish, cat, sun, clouds and lines. She used up the negative space and she has no background which I like. She also used patterns of the squiggly lines, there is most squiggly lines and playful lines throughout the page than straight lines.

The mood in this artwork is a happy mood, a childish and playful mood. This artist looks like they had fun creating this art work. They very bright colors makes it stand out a lot.

The art is successful because it creates a strong mood. It shows not everything can be in detail for a piece of art. Sometimes you have to step back from thinking so hard and just do whatever you want no holding back. The mood creates a playful and childish looks. It makes me happy because it looks like a child put all their hard effort into this piece and I love it.

The hight is 14 in, and width is 17. The gorilla seems to be pondering about something, and the explosion is very detailed. There’s a very big banana in a tree.

there’s lots of color and texture, and value. Most is in the background.

The art is organized with crazy proportions and contrast. The cute gorilla being blown up makes a big contrast. The emphasis on the size of the banana makes the art a bit comical.

The artwork is very contemplative, seeming almost political. Why is the gorilla being blown up. The bright colors of the volcano make the art seem comical.

View 3: the work is very balanced with the principles and elements. It caught my eye because of the bright colors.

# data[].attributes.body
Step 1: work is 11 by 24. I love the colors incorporated and how you created form in the landscape. You also made very great use with the space.

Step 2: the proportions with the house create an environment that balances out the bittersweet mood. You did an amazing job with the rhythm and movement in the road. You achieved a really nice piece that makes you question what is the meaning behind it. I like how you didn’t draw too much emphasis on your dog but he is still seen.

Step 3: The artwork is bittersweet. I think with the dogs tail up makes him look joyous and playful. But the muted colors add a sense of somber. It can be relatable to anyone going through a similar situation or anyone that has lost a pet.

Step 4:

I think the artwork is very successful in all views but mainly 2 and 3. You created a strong meaning and the elements and principles all make this a great composition. If you wanted to make it even stronger, you could spend more time on the houses or dog.

Describe- I see a medium sized artwork with color pastels. With two best friends with bright striking colors. There’s lots of different values of the two colors used for variety. Along with a crayon texture giving a playful vibe.

Analyze- The composition shows the two friends are close not only physically but also as friends. The artist uses balance to keep the two subjects in equal harmony. They also use contrast by using the darkest value of each color of the two subjects eyes and hair. Keeping our attention on them. This goes along with emphasis as by drawing our attention to their hair and eyes it makes us focus on the faces instead of anything else.

Interpreting- The mood of this artwork is very playful, happy, and comfortable. This is given by the two girls soft smiles but very happy eyes. As well as the pose.

Judging- This artwork is successful based on its strong mood, it creates a very specific playful and warm vibe while only having two subjects and only two colors.

# data[].attributes.body
Describe: your work demonstrates the use of texture, shape and lines and through the use of 3d art you showcase your skills through sculptures. Your variety stays consistent yet expressive and is easy to identify.

Analyze: color, proportion, and detail are the key elements I see consistent in your designs.

Interpreting: I think the goal of your appeal was to reflect the beauty in everyday things and your theme was emphasizing the art and value through food.

# data[].attributes.body
Describe- I see a small simple but very aesthetically pleasing painting. I see three different subjects, a snowcone, a gansito, and a duvalín. There are three very noticeable elements of art. Shape is one of the big ones as the artists makes everything a round soft shape even with the sparkles that should be sharp. Color is also used, the artist chose very soft and light colors while not making anything too similar in value. Speaking of value, the artist uses value to keep things interesting without being overly contrasting.

Analyzing- The artist organized this art rather simply but quite smart. As all three subjects are in view but from a distance making the painting feel light and not claustrophobic. The artist uses three principles of design that help the art succeed. Balance is used to make the subjects all stay in focus while not competing with each other for the viewers eyes. Speaking of which Unity is used to make each subject pop and be unique while not being overwhelming. Variety of color is also used to make each subject unique, each has one main color with pops of others.

Interpreting- The mood of this work is dreamy, calm, and peaceful. This is convoyed through the light colors and round shapes.

Judging- This artwork is successful because they create a strong feeling with a very simple painting.
