Project 3- Final Painting

I received a lot of good criticism for this piece. I definitely agree that perspective is something that I need to work on, and I would like to add more detail to the figures in future.
I tried to be clever and include some symbolism into the piece, and I thought it was kind of funny that everyone thought the male figure was Abe Lincoln.
Male figure- supposed to symbolize chivalry, and how it isn't appreciated like it once was-hence the melting. :)

Project 3- practice paintings

Using colors from my image of inspiration, I really tried to experiment with using different techniques as I practiced for when I would begin painting my final piece.

Project 3-practice tessellations

I'm not certain about which one i'm going to end up choosing for my final project, but hopefully one of these will provide a composition that is pleasing to one's eye.

Project Three-part one

Practice Compositions

for tessellations

Project Two

I will definitely rework the upper left corner, and clean up my lines/white spaces. I appreciate all of the feedback I recieved during this critique, and as someone new to the medium of painting, I was fairly satisfied with this piece. I look forward to developing some skill in this medium as the semester continues.

Project One

During the critique, I received a lot of helpful criticism. I realize that I did not have a very enthralling composition, and I also see how my negative space can be considered problematic, especially with the contour-like likes of the outermost figure. I appreciate the feedback, and I think that I have a greater chance of success in future works because of the crit. I don't think there's any hope in fixing this one, but I suppose I will give myself credit for the valiant attempt.
