5. List any obstacles you had to overcome and how you dealt with them.






 

1.     Describe the overall composition of your artwork (balance, unity, rhythm and movement).
  the balance was shown by how the negative space worked with the positive space
2.     How did you add texture and contrast to your print? Is this important? Why?
i cut out the space that i need and when the test print was done i cut out other spaces where the ink wasnt needed
3.     Explain how you used positive and negative space to show your image.
the blue was positive and the green which was negative used depth to show foreground and background
4.     Describe the craftsmanship of your print. (How good the project is technically crafted)
its cut in good spots to show where the lines go and where there is texture
5.     Were you able to achieve depth by showing a foreground, middle ground and back- ground? Explain.
yes because the further back things were the smaller i made them so the looked farther away

1. Why is texture so important to have in your sketches?
To show where the animal is in comparison to where the other objects are to make them seem like its not flat and it looks more realistic
2. Why is it neccessary for you to have several references of each animal and each background? Explain.
so you can add a little for each to make the background as realistic as possible so you can see the different types of places the animal might live in                                                                                                                                                           
 
 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? 
The one with the most texture so you will be able to see where the black lines would be added and where the black will be cut out in the final piece

chalk murals


1. Explain your experience working on a team and executing your ideas for the mural.
I liked the overall project and working i just didnt get along with some of my group which took away some of the fun from the project.
2. Explain the importance of collaboration when working on a team.
while being a team player is important you also want a group that you can work well with to avoid personal issues and arguements.
3.  How successful was this project? Explain how and why.
over all i say our group did pretty successful becuase of how neat and well the final image looked on the wall and how it interacted with the people that stood by it
4. Explain how you feel about creating artwork that others can interact with. Ex. Invoving the whole school? 
I liked the project and the original sketch but i dont like some of the things that were added by group members while working with chalk. I dont think that the penguin was a good choice to add
