Painting critque Spring2022 by Kim McGrath-Anderson https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn Several of our assignments will be posted here for class critique. Make sure your name is on any of your posts as well as your critique comments! If we run out of time in class critique, you may leave comments for other students that are positive and specific, constructive criticism, and of course, are school appropriate en-us 2022-02-07 15:47:28 UTC 2025-10-29 17:38:43 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f439.png Elton John - Alyssa Abeyta https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2033742510 My concept for the Posterization Portrait is that I wanted to portray beauty. So I decided to do my portrait of Elton John to portray that beauty. I went with a monochromatic color scheme using the values of purple. My dominant principle of design was contrast. 
My strength during this project was lighting and color because I feel like I did well with the contrast between the different values of purple; without having them to look the same. In fact I did well with the lighting in the background and giving it a lighter color to make the main subject pop out more. Also I feel like the color I chose really did help bring out that beauty and prettyness within the subject.
I could have been more successful in my technique because I could have made worked on not showing the brush strokes in my painting. (Mostly in the darker values) And trying to smooth out some areas in my painting. ]]> 2022-02-07 18:06:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2033742510 Billie Eilish- Maya Marsh 2098516 https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2035805784 The concept of my piece was to show power, beauty, and content and my reference was Billie Eilish. My color scheme is monochromatic of purple. The dominant principal of design that I choose was movement and I did that by using the shading and the lines of the posterization it should follow the hair then focus on the face then the background should draw your eye away from it so you can see the whole picture. I think I did really well on my lighting and color because I did well on shading and I really did try on making the color correct and similar to the reference photo. Something I could have done better is my technique, I could have added a few more layers to make it look more full and make my lines more clean]]> 2022-02-08 15:46:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2035805784 Rachel Chapman https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2035857514 This work is of someone I know personally and am close to, I used warm colors that weren't too vibrant to convey a calm comfort. I used a blue background as contrast to make the reds and oranges stand out more and be more eye catching. I feel I did well with conveying emotion and having a more unique work, trying to capture the flaws of a person I find beautiful. I could've done better with realism and proportions but feel otherwise I did a good job ]]> 2022-02-08 16:06:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2035857514 2055880 https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2035874872 My concept was to capture a feeling of contentment and quiet happiness. My color scheme was an analogous one that included shades of yellow, light green, and darker green. These two connect because the color scheme I chose is a happy one, but not overwhelmingly so. The yellow introduces a feeling of lightness, but the cooler tones of the greens bring that feeling back down into a more calmer feeling of overall ease. I think my color scheme manages to accomplish the feeling and concept I was attempting to portray.
I used texture in this painting through the use of a palette knife and a sponge to create a more abstract sort of feel that is soft in some places and harder with more clear definition in others. This technique helps to portray the sort of wildness and unpredictability of nature that my reference photo showed. I also used a lot of blending to show the clear gradient of highlights to shadows. I used shape to further the idea that this is a painting of nature through my use of solely  shapes. No shape is precisely perfect in this painting, as all of them contain the waves and irregularities that nature itself contains. I believe using shape like this furthered the asymmetric and untamed feel that I wanted to convey. 
I think that transformation and experimentation was probably my strongest point as I took my reference photo and turned it into an image of how I personally perceived it and then made it portray the feeling I wanted more directly. I also experimented a lot with different tools and brush strokes to see what technique worked best for the vibe I was trying to achieve. 
The criteria that could be more successful would probably be technique? As I do use a bunch of different ones that leave the painting feeling a little all over the place. In addition I feel like I wasn't particularly good at the techniques that I did attempt? So I feel like there's a lot of room to improve and figure out how to use those specific techniques in better ways.]]> 2022-02-08 16:12:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2035874872 Jayden Kent 2055548 https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2035931937 My concept was power and strength. 
My color scheme was analogous.
My dominant principle of design was contrast.
I think lighting and color was my strength because of all the different colors that were used in my design.
I think technique could be better because I didn’t add enough layers of paint.

Pink is a very safe color for me and Emma ( my friend) is my safe person, so I thought the two would work nicely together. My dominant principal of design was proportion, and I wanted to make sure I got her proportions correct. I think my strength was connecting the color scheme and the painting to my concept. I think I did well in trying to give the feeling of safety, for me at least. I could have been a little bit more successful with my technique, I feel like some parts were a little rushed. ]]> 2022-02-09 16:17:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2038284638 Alana Finn https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2038634154 While I was painting I used blues, purples, and cool greens to make the viewer feel calm and relaxed. I used my brush to create the effect of the curves, by following the shape/direction of every curve. My strongest criteria was technique, looking at the painting i like how you can really tell the difference in direction of the glass. (direction in stand, cup, and neck of the glass). A criteria that I could have done better was lighting and color, i feel like some of my highlights were a bit to harsh, i wish i could've blended them more when the paint was wet. (i liked the color to much to change it again)]]> 2022-02-09 18:43:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2038634154 Ashley Reveles 2015509 https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2041345480 My concepts for my project was power the reason why I did it was for my cousin his name was Alex and he served in the military he always had that cold face but was never not nice. My dominant principle of design it is going to be balanced because you create a composition as a whole also asymmetrical. My strength in my piece was design because I decide to go with a pattern that suited  with my piece and one of my weaknesses was a technique I couldn’t match all my colors I had redo it on more white  or add more black and that was very difficult for me. ]]> 2022-02-10 23:32:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2041345480 Jazlynn declaw https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2044038129 When i was painting this i used a mixture of black and blue for the background and then i used different shades of orange for the buildings and black for the window and a little bit of white for the sky i liked this project bc we can do something in the magazines.]]> 2022-02-12 20:51:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2044038129 Heavenly Mora 2198695 https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2048916093 The concept of this painting was to incorporate as much emotion as i could. I wanted the cat to appear sad. My dominant principal of design was to use as much realism as i could. I didn't want my cat painting to look too much like a painting. I feel that I used contrast well. ]]> 2022-02-15 16:01:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2048916093 Grayc S. 22029981 https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2049932831 My concept is a feeling of calmness and by doing that I used an analogous color scheme to use multiple colors to represent the calm feeling.I used texture and shape by having triangles and circles, and used texture by the way the paintbrush hit the canvas. The criteria off the rubric that is my strongest would have to be the lighting and color because of how much color I used in my painting. I definitely think that the creativity could be more successful because I don't think this is all that creative. ]]> 2022-02-16 02:19:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2049932831 Colin Hill https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2050209446 My concept was to create and happy and calming environment. My color scheme is Complementary
by using different shades of orange and teal. I used red and yellow to create an orange add more yellow to create a more yellowish-orange. I also used more red in the orange to create a reddish-orange. For the teal, I used a combat blue and emerald green to create a teal. I used my brushes to create a smooth texture on my canvas to emphasize the calming aspect of the painting. I created a repetitive peddle shape which creates rhythm in the painting on the left side. On the ride side of the painting, I created a repetitive pattern of circles and a Diamond. My strength was creativity and concept. I think this was my strength because I had a good concept with my colors because happy and calming are two contrasting emotions and they are displayed well on my canvas. I could be more successful with the design. I could have used different techniques to get different textures, using modeling paste or matte medium. ]]> 2022-02-16 06:24:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2050209446 Hannah Vinson 2232489 https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2050290159 My concept was to make it look as stress full as possible, but i used cool tone colors to balance the stressfulness out. For texture i used modeling paste witch thinkens the pain up when it drys. I think my strength would be texture. I fell like my dots towardes the end could have been better, but the paint i used was really watery so thats why it looks like that. Also my hands where realy shaky while making the black lines, so next times i will try to control my shaky hands better. ]]> 2022-02-16 07:33:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2050290159 dominck khautisen - hunter schafer 20706131 https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2051118667 The concept for my painting was power, I used a complementary color scheme because I thought the red against the blue had a nice powerful contrast. My dominant principle of design was my creativity and concept . I think off the criteria my strength was my lighting and color because I think they work well together. I think I could've been more successful in my technique because some parts aren't as clean and look blended.]]> 2022-02-16 15:25:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2051118667 Natalie Khautisen https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2051124921 My concept was ´love and passion´ and a color scheme i used was monochromatic because love and passion are a mix of dark red to more of a light red when u think of it.
I used texture by pointing out more of the more prone facial features
A criteria i used was water color so i could easily blend more of the colors together and easier.
A criteria i could be more successful in is shape because it looks kind of wonky and i could've payed more attention to that..]]> 2022-02-16 15:28:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2051124921 Christian Riedel - Abstract https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2051328538 Calmness is my concept and I used an analogous color scheme. There is no dramatic change and cool colors create more of a sense of calmness.

I used texture to show where the color changed and shape to form my piece

I think my strength is my creativity and concept because there were some parts I had to improvise on

I think I could've been more successful in my technique and practice will help me out on that.]]> 2022-02-16 16:48:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2051328538 Amelia Shannon - Posterization Portrait https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2051362708 My concept for this painting was a feeling of prosperity. I was originally going to use green and yellow because in some ways prosperity is connected to money. But I felt like red was more powerful for this project. My dominant principle of design is rhythm because I had to find a good middle ground of symmetry and the natural asymmetry of her face. I think I did really good with my creativity and concept because the colors I used for my background and how I used them is unique. I could’ve done better with technique because my canvas is still a bit bumpy and uneven.]]> 2022-02-16 17:02:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2051362708 Ethan duvall https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2051474827 My concept was fine lines keeping together but also separate. I chose these colors because red and blue are separate but when mixed then make a even better color and so somtimes it’s okay for things to mix as different as they seem. I think my design is the best out of the runic I definitely could have worked on my technique. As that would help me make it look better overall and not have so much empty space. I used texture and shape very well in the fact I was had many well defined sahpe and not so well texture ]]> 2022-02-16 17:48:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2051474827 Nahliyah Syleevong- Abstract https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2051502555 The concept of my painting was something simple because if im being honest im a new painter and with my first sketch i had done was super detailed and i would definitely not know hot to color match all of the colors, the color scheme i chose was a cool monochromatic blue shades.]]> 2022-02-16 17:59:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2051502555 https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2054267138 my concept was the feeling of truthfulness and fustrated. using a split-complemetary color scheme. i took blue to covey the feeling of being self aware and truthful with your self but also red for fustration that you can't control what happends. i used alot of texure for the reds and oranges. then blended the blues together for a gradent. i feel like i did a good job creating texture. i also felt like i could of added more to the painting as a whole.]]> 2022-02-17 23:59:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2054267138 Levi M https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2055484551
My concept for this painting is mystery, to make you look at something and not know quite what it is
 
The concept photo i used is from a fashion designer dingyun zhang, which i feel like his clothing represents the emotion i'm trying to represent perfectly 
 
My color scheme is monochromatic using blues
 
My dominant principle of design is balance because everything fits together well in my opinion 
 
Something i think i did well with was my colors, i stated to not like the colors when i started working on it because it didn't match the reference photo at all but i released it didn't need to look 1 to 1
 
One thing i could have worked better on is more straight lines and more small details, that would have improved the price a lot more. And i could have used less colors over all

These connect because the yellow is a peaceful color to me. My strength was the design of the face. Something I could be more successful with would be the technique in the my eyes.]]> 2022-02-23 17:50:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2063088126 Fuad Sawakid https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2097518213 My concept is to show coldness and anger, but have some happiness come through. The textures may be wavy, to show uncertainty. Which emotion will win between the 3? The red showing anger and the blue showing coldness. The yellow/white will be the brightness that should come through so that the coldness and anger can leave. The shapes I am thinking of adding are triangles for pointless- showing harshness, and circles for hope or a cycle of life. I think the Concept was a strong area for me. I am hoping that the battle of which emotion to choose in life is clear. I want to be better at technique. I want to be better at getting the right tools and using the right paint direction, etc. ]]> 2022-03-16 07:42:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2097518213 Kailyn Davis https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2150702627 my concept for this painting was the safety of finding yourself after a long time. Finding yourself can be a long and messy journey, but the feeling of finally knowing who you are and what you want can feel safe. The color scheme is analogous, with shades of brown and green and hints of red.  my dominant principal of design was emphasis, and I used it by emphasizing the shadow and making it darker than the rest of the painting so it draws the eye. I think my biggest strength off the rubric was my design. I really like how my piece came together and I'm very proud of how my design turned out to really portray my concept. One thing I think I struggled with at first was my lighting and color. At first there wasn't a lot of contrast between the shadow and the background, and the background also looked very flat. I added more contrast to the shadow, using a lot lighter tones, and I added more shades of color to the background. ]]> 2022-04-20 17:07:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2150702627 Alana Finn https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2150713195 My concept was everything to do with my boyfriend and my color scheme was analogous. I used patterns in the Cheshire Cat, throughout his body with the stripes, solid colors, and the blending of the similar colors to get the effect of he was fading away. I used Unity on my Xbox controller, the main focal point would be the D-Pad with its crazy shadows. All of my paintings have an asymmetrical balance. I would say I was the strongest in my color matching. I would say that the lighting could. have been improved,with more realistic features. ]]> 2022-04-20 17:14:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2150713195 Ashley Reveles 2015509 https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2150713507 My concept is grieving and my color scheme is monochrome and i did browns and also burn the paper its shows like a old feeling and my dominant principle of design would be movement because I did my cousins names and we read from left to right but i wanted to do it from right to left. My strength was my concept I did  my cousin and I wanted to  remember good things from him and let him go. One things I should of  done better was my technique I should of added more layers of paint.]]> 2022-04-20 17:14:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2150713507 2098516 https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2150714889 The concept of my painting was I wanted to show that feeling of when you are sad/depressed yet you are trying to make the best of life and be happy. There is also the element of music pulling you more towards those feelings. The color scheme I choose was monochromatic blue. My dominant principle of design was movement, I did this through the use of organic lines that move your eye through the piece. I think my strength was was the creativity and concept because I like the mood and the story that I tried to portray. My weakness was probably technique, I could have made the hair more realistic, and added more layers to the painting to add dimension.

My color scheme was analogous possibly?? I used repetition in my paintings to balance them because they have a sort of visual stability as the lines are all similar and have a sense of unity as they are all related but different in their own ways also creating a pattern. I would say that my strength in this was trasformation and experimentation because I stepped out of my comfort zone with watercolor and trying new things to improve each one. I could have done better with lighting and color because I dont think it was very accurate to the real objects.]]> 2022-04-21 04:29:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2151441693 2116449 https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2152443307 my concept was spirituality by using physical tools. with a complementary color scheme. i used many patterns for the holder and the lighter and they all are united because you can have one without the other as tools for the practice. i think i could have done better with the smoke and my technique. but i think i did really well with the experimenting like with the top of the lighter i think i did really well trying that out.]]> 2022-04-21 17:42:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2152443307 Ethan duvall https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2156685804 These are items I will always have wi tbh me but I never got to finish my very last item because I spent to much time in the AirPods due to their difficulties ]]> 2022-04-25 14:42:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2156685804 2232489 https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2156716832 My concept was earth and grounding. my color scheme analogous and i used a marble affect for unique pattern.

My color scheme was monochromatic. I used balance to display where the light was and the angle the object was displayed and painted at. My strength is design because of how well I was able to depict the objects I painted. My technique coudve been better because I could've painted the waterbottles light sorceress better]]> 2022-04-25 14:58:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2156720552 2055880 https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2156724527 My concept was to show the passage of time and the evolution of my relationship with my girlfriend. Each of the things I painted were something she gave me. I included one from before our relationship, in the early stages of it, and then recently. My color scheme is probably closest to analogous? I mostly used colors that were pretty close to one another in the color wheel.
I used balance by making all of the objects roughly the same size in the center of the painting to show how consistent and balanced my relationship feels. I used unity in a similar fashion by using similar colors in all the paintings and making them look balanced in order to bring them together. I then used pattern by arranging the paintings in chronological order from when the gifts were given to me, and had the light angling from the same place in every painting.
The criteria that is my strength is probably transformation and experimentation because my paintings have improved a lot from where they first started out in my initial drafts and I figured out how to do the lighting in a better way.
The criteria that could be more successful is probably technique because my shadows could still definitely use some work and my technique in that manner needs to improve.]]> 2022-04-25 15:00:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2156724527 Natalie K https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2156729818 I chose to do childhood memory becuase i think watercolor is very symbolic to my childhood because that’s when i did it the most, two of my paintings are analogous and then the other one is monochromatic, my strength would be the creativity because it didn’t really take me long to think about what i wanted to do. Something i would work on is my organization because there were times that i didn’t have my physical object right in front of me.

I aim to convey a darker feeling using text that express sadder emotions, adding some that reference the pressure of religion demanding you follow it if you don't want to go to a hell (ex ; tell us how strong your love it, there was a time when nobody believed, it took all of my faith not to give up hope). I want my work to be viewed and taken in wholly by your own opinions and perception and trigger different reactions in each person depending on their views of religion. ]]> 2022-04-25 15:05:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2156735115 ELI https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2156791592 2022-04-25 15:32:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2156791592 Jazlynn https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2158683223 2022-04-26 14:55:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2158683223 2198695 https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2158734349 My concept for my painting was to represent how we get lost in our daily lives and don’t see the beauty around us. I’m not sure what the color scheme is but I used two opposite feeling colors to show the happiness and the worry in life. My dominant principal of design is emphasis. I wanted the very center of the canvas to draw your attention most. I made the center part draw your attention with a big map that signifies our daily lives and routines. The criteria I feel I did the best on is creativity. I have never created a mixed media piece before net alone tell a message through it. I could have did better with the technique I used to lay down the paint I have on the canvas. The blending of the colors isn’t too good.

I think the two connect because aggression is usually associated with anger and warm tones are really powerful. My dominant principle of design was emphasis because my main focal point is the girl.

I chose a Xbox controller, soccer ball, and headphones. I chose the controller because I played on the Xbox a lot. I chose the soccer ball because I played it a lot when I was younger with my cousins. I chose the headphones because I loved and still love music. 
The pattern will be the hexagons on the soccer ball. I'm repeating the same shape in the same way. 
The balance will be the symmetrical design of the controller and the headphones. 
The unity will be the repetition of the hexagons on the soccer ball. 
My color scheme will be monochromatic, to show how I remember them from my childhood. I think I did good on the colors because I used different shades. I want to work on technique of watercolor more and blending because I didn't do much of that in my paintings.]]> 2022-04-27 03:07:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2159632776 Dominick khautisen https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2159691940 My concept was rebellion, and my color scheme was Triadic with the red in the middle and the background being a bit yellow with some blue in other spots. i added butterflies because I think with rebellion comes freedom in a sense, and butterflies to me represent freedom. I really wanted the main focus to be the red color since i personally think that fits rebellion the most. I think my dominant principle of design was my emphasis on the screaming girl and I think the graphic lines help that. I think something I did well was my technique, I really took my time building up my layers with paint and I think I could’ve done better on my design with adding more objects.

A domino from Mexican train, a Yahtzee cup and a dice.  I use balance in my domino painting by creating a symmetrical painting.

I wanted to show a very bright, nostalgic version of their house because of how much it reminds me of my childhood. My color scheme is probably closest to split complementary? Because my dominant colors are red, blue, and green. 
My dominant principle of design was emphasis and I used it by placing the most important section of the house where both my grandparents live in the center of the painting. I also used the most vibrant colors to decorate it to further draw the viewers eye. I then used leading lines to lead the viewers eye to this specific section of the house I wanted them to focus on the most.
The criteria that I was most successful with was transformation and experimentation because there were a lot of times where I had to fix mistakes that I made in order to make the entire painting look more realistic and I think I did a good job in doing so. It did take a lot of experimentation to see what looked best and where.
The criteria that could use some work is probably lighting and color? Because while there are highlights and shadows, neither of them are cohesive or equal across the entire piece and they could all truly use some work.]]> 2022-05-13 04:35:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2182343787 Iliana vigil https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2182375179 2022-05-13 05:12:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2182375179 Ashley Reveles 2015509 https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2182955577 My concept for my piece was  fear and my dominant of principle is movement because your eyes goes to the comic strips and one things I did well on was my concept and one things I did not so well design fill in the spikes.]]> 2022-05-13 14:18:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2182955577 kyleigh h https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2182993859 my concept was a peaceful summers day on the beach.

I used a monochromatic color scheme of black and white. They connect because I think that if I used a different monochromatic color in the project. Then it would kinda hard to be able to portray my concept that way. Also I feel that the black and white helps give more of a eerie and haunting look to it. My dominant principle of design I used was a Radial Balance. 
My strength in this project was the transformation and experimentation because it was fun to play around with where to place certain things. Or experiment on how to make the painting really pop out to the audience. So it looks as if the monster in the painting is alive and climbing/crawling out of the canvas. It was also nice to experiment with the tentacles in the paining. And how I wanted those to look to also help with the pop out look of the painting.
I could have been more successful in a little bit of my technique because I think I could have spent a little more time on the shading in the character itself. And work on trying to make some of the shading lines less harsh. ]]> 2022-05-23 16:07:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2196142175 Colin Hill https://padlet.com/kmcgrath36/p2uc80rvup50brhn/wish/2196963753 My Concept is to portray a calm place and feeling.

My concept was to make something angular with no round corners to have a simple looking price in a cartoon style.with an analogous color scheme

Exaggeration and simplification were my principles of design. How I used them was exaggerating the points of the man to make them more big or small. The simplification was used in making is angular and have 1 color per "cell" 

I feel like my strong point is creativity and concept because it's something different 

Personally i think my technique could have been better, and my main frustration for it was the black lines are to thick for my liking and it blocks out some sections and takes away from it but i suppose thats a lesson learned for next time i do something similar

My strength in this painting was the transformative because in the painting I feel that I am able to show and speak on how I think I am as a person. And how everything about my isn't the same or perfect.
I could have been more successful in a little bit of the technique because I feel like I could have spent just a little more time on the shading.
