“Hunderwasser” Self Evaluation critique
Please answer the following questions for your painting when it is completed. Name: Malin Juntikka 1. Describe the craftsmanship of your painting. (Is it neat and well executed?) My painting is neat. I think I succeeded with the color combinations, and my border is nice. I could have used more painting at some parts, because in some parts you can nearly see the canvas and the underlaying laying. Also, I could have been more careful when I did the details. If you look close you can see that it looks a bit shaky. Many times my hand spead out the still wet color which resulted smash. 2. How does your work embody the artist’s style? I used a lot of colors. Not randomly, without I chose the colors very carefully. I worked a lot with contrast colors. For example, does the border mirrors the colors inside of it. I did not put any shades in the painting, which makes the painting very flat. I mixed straight-up-buildings and flat-buildings. The painting is not realistic at all, but you can still see the natural forms of houses, bodies and curves. I used patterns too. 3. Describe your choice of colors/color harmonies and how you used them throughout the artwork. I used a lots of contrast colors. I love to use those colors, because it makes the painting more powerful. The deep dark blue sky, and its black stripes makes the sky very deep and infinite. The orange sun/moon/face fits perfect in the sky. First I planned that the stars/small faces would have the same color as the sun, but I considered that the white-yellow color ended up better. I wanted the tree/park/mother earth-part to be natural. The contrast to the natural, harmonious and calm park, is the high new buildings consisting of unnatural light-timid-colors. 4. What is the emphasis (focal point) of your artwork? First, it was very clearly that the sun/moon/face would be the emphasis of my artwork, but now when I am done, I am not 100% sure. The colorful buildings and their white windows gives a strong impression too. Though, I still think the sun/moon/face is the heart of the picture. With help of the contrast by deep dark blue sky it becomes the most tempting object for the eyes. But that is my opinion. Other eyes may think something different. 5. How did you use textures and patterns to embellish your artwork? I think the white windows on the buildings fits perfect. First, I was thinking to use the contrast colors, but after painting the first layer with white colors I saw how beautiful they fit together. The increasing paint strains on the river gives you the feeling that the water goes faster and faster until it all split up by the waterfall. I used a lot of painting to the river. It makes it livelier. The small dots in the sky reinforces the texture in the sky. 6. How did you put a border on your artwork? How does it enhance the work? I decided to make a discontinuous border. The way it enhances the painting is that it mirrors the inner colors. It gives the contrast color to the color inside. By that process, the painting amplifiers. The “Island” ends i the right down corner, so does the red/pink boder. In order of that, it makes it more clear that the border mirrors the inner colors. 7. Describe any difficulties you had creating this artwork. It was annoying that you needed to put on so many layers. But, it is still quite satisfying to see how it ends up better each time. I do not like to be super detailed and meticulous, so sometimes it was hard to do all the patterns. I am neither so careful when I painting. But with help of the white color that covers the under layer very well I managed it! |
