Evaluating Artwork

                                                                   Graceful Dancer

 The curves in the arms of the dancer make her appear graceful. By the blurring of the background, the dancer appears sharper, more in focus, making one feel her more. The softness of the dancer makes one feel calm.

The vertical lines make her look alert. With her bangs very straight and diagonal, she appears stern. The gray tone makes one ready to work. The fuzziness of the outline makes one focus more of the interior details rather than the whole shape.



                                                    Texas View of the United States

The size of Texas in this map makes it seem really big. The long lines on the Texas compared to the other states give an added effect of being large. The elongated shape of the Texas makes it seem dorky, but at the same time it and the huge size, put Texas in charge, and the other states very low on the todum pole.



                                                                       Silhouette

The value of the picture makes the girl appear sad. The round features on her face give her a look of infinity, like she will be there forever.


                                                                        Red Rose

The lines of the petal on the rose create a spiral, which suggests infinity, making the rose seeming to go on forever. At the same time, the petals are multiple curved lines, which makes the rose graceful.

  4. Nice pictures, they display the elements of design well. However, be sure state specifically what element your photo represents best. Like Mrs. Klein said, I think you could do more. Otherwise, well done.

  5. I thought your pictures were beautiful. I really liked the one about the shillouette and how the features add to the stillness and sadness of the photo. Great Job!
