How did your artistic choices help show duplicity?   Color choice, subject matter, arrangement/ composition?  The colors, high and low

What were the most helpful comments you received when we did the written critique/feedback?  What was surprising feedback? I was getting a lot of texture comments but I still didn’t know how to texturize the rocks.

What are you most pleased with in your artwork?  The animals 

What might you do the same and what might you do differently next time you use the media you used for this artwork? Have the same animals but I would do a different background.

 

Write about your process – how did your original ideas and plans change and develop as you worked?  Changes could be compositional, technical, and/or conceptual.  Why did those changes occur? I needed a male figure so I have asked my friend if he could do it and fortunately he said it was ok. The mini figures I had to change do to the face being too small. 

 

How does this artwork show development from pervious artwork?  Point to specific ways or areas of the artwork.  For example, the color palette might show more richness and blending than you’ve previously done, or you might point to places where proportions of the subject are stronger than previous work with the same subject…or… I wanted the red string to pop out so I didn’t use any color.

 

What were challenges you experienced in the process and how did you address them? Getting proportions just right and the mini figures.

 

What tips/suggestions might you give a younger artist or even yourself embarking on a similar subject, use of materials, or composition? Don’t stress over it make it bigger and lower so that the figures are proportioned 

 

Did this artwork stretch you in any way?  If so, how?  What ideas do you have for your next independent project – how will you challenge yourself? For my next independent project I want to draw a dog I see at work on a black canvas and I will be using white color pencil.

What materials do you need? Black canvas and white color pencil.

What questions do you have about process, technique, or concept? This refers to questions you ask yourself as an artist, but could also be questions you have for me. Fur techniques on black background.  

Research -- find or sketch images that will be references (if photos, create your own or be ready to significantly change an online photo).  What artists can you look at for inspiration?  Any demo videos that might help? I saw a student artist who did the same thing but drew a person.
