Which Shadow Box did you choose?
Olivia Stites' project
1. What was your initial response to your chosen shadow box? Why did you choose it to critique?
It was incredibly eye catching. It has all of my favorite colors and it is absolutely beautiful and very clean. It is very put together.
2. What is successful about this project?
It is a very cohesive piece. All of the layers really work together to make a full look that is put together, and a landscape that really makes you want to go there.
3. What constructive feedback can you give to the artist?
I would just say to try and manage your time. I feel like she could have easily had the foam core in between the layers if she was able to manage her time. Also, I would work on making the definition in the leaves and the water more clear.
4. How well did the artist use watercolor techniques? Are all four techniques evident?
She did the bloom technique that looks great, blending, layering, and wet on wet. I think it was
a good move because it added to the piece, it wasn't just an extra for fun.
5. Is there a clear foreground, middle ground, and background?
Yes there is. The background is the blue sky with clouds, the middle ground is the landscape with the mountains, and the foreground is the trees and water.
