1.     Describe the overall composition of your artwork (balance, unity, rhythm and movement).
My overall Composition was good and very detailed. I spent alot of time on cutting out the black lines and parts. It could of used some more good cuts but overall it was good artwork.
  
2.     How did you add texture and contrast to your print? Is this important? Why?
I added texture by cutting the black out it aslo adds contrast to my print. Yes it is very important if you wanna have a nice clean print with good contrast, compostition, and texture.

3.     Explain how you used positive and negative space to show your image.
I used negative space by cutting out the black part on the llinomium and leaving the white space to show the positive part.

4.     Describe the craftsmanship of your print. (How good the project is technically crafted)
I think my craftman ship was very good. I took my time on this project and tried to neatly cut out pieces but i might have left some over.

5.     Were you able to achieve depth by showing a foreground, middle ground and back- ground? Explain.
Yes i was because when you look at the print you can tell he's jumping onto something because of the ice caps in the back showing the background.

6.     Explain your experience with Printmaking. What were the obstacles and advantages?
Print-making was fairly very easy. The only obstacle i came across while print-making was that sometimes the llinomium didnt paste all the way through on the paper and therefore came out with some odd parts and uneven prints.

1. Why is texture so important to have in your sketches? So that you can see the different shades in the eagle and see how the light shines through on the picture.

2. Why is it neccessary for you to have several references of each animal and each background? Explain. So just in case the backround doesnt look right or it doesnt show enough backround you can choose a different one. And its also good so you can draw a good well detailed background

3. When you look at your sketches are you able to see which sketch is the strongest and will make the best print? How do you know this? Yes i can tell by looking at the shading, texture, composition, and the overall drawing by doing this i can find out which one will make the best print.


 
1. Explain your experience working on a team and executing your ideas for the mural. Working as a team was great, everyone did their part and came up with great ideas. I came up with some ideas and others came up with more. Overall team projects are a really good thing to do in Art.

2. Explain the importance of collaboration when working on a team. Collaboration is very important when working on a team so we know what we are all doing and who's doing what. Its also needed so we can all share our ideas and contribute to the project.

3.  How successful was this project? Explain how and why. It was very successful because we all worked as a team and every person did their part. Everyone also contributed alot to the project and their efforts were well worth it.

4. Explain how you feel about creating artwork that others can interact with. Ex. Invoving the whole school?  It felt really good because everyone was so amazed with our artwork and they started taking their own pictures with it. But it was really cool to draw things on the wall where we could interact with it.
