Learning Activity

Reflect > Should I go back and rework anything?

Have you done anything special with the art elements (line, color, shape, texture, value) and principles? (Unity/variety, balance, emphasis contrast, rhythm, proportion/scale, figure/ground relationship)
What are the dominant shapes, expressive forms, color schemes, and textures that carry significance?
Is there symbolism used in the work to convey meaning other than what one sees?
Is the work ordered and balanced? Or chaotic and disturbing?
What gives the work its uniqueness?
Does the work evoke any feelings?
