Group Critique

Brooke, Geoff, Murray.

An important issue brought up was that I may not have enough time to finish my piece, a solution to that issue would cutting off part of my canvas to have less space to work with. The idea of color, is to bring attention to the image and help the viewer have a path in which they follow while observing. I was recomended to use a paint marker, because it is easier to make distinct lines while paint would create for a rougher image. Which may not be a bad idea, something I must think about. A major issue, is that my lines aren't dark enough. This is because of the way I draw, to make sure I get the cleanest lines I can. The group recommend I go over them again, maybe when a pen. I am concerned of this idea, because I am worried I will lose the neatness that I work so hard to achieve. The last idea is to incorporate a visually confusing image such as a staircase in which you cant tell which way it is going or how it works. This would add an effect of an optical illusion which would be great for the overall theme of the piece.

  1. glad you guys had a good talk. i am concerned about you finishing too but i LOVE the idea of seeing your work large! couple of thoughts: maybe having a small drawing on a large paper isn't a bad idea. why does the drawing have to fill the whole space? maybe the fact that it's light makes the viewer come in close and look carefully at what you've done? if i saw what looked like a white sheet of paper hanging on a gallery wall i would walk up to it wondering if there was anything there. just a thought.
