On your blog use ALL the questions and criteria below. Your self evaluation, reflection, content,and painted image will be the basis of this assignment.

REFLECTION:

Describe your experience with a palette knife:

· What surprised you?

· What frustrated you?

· How did you overcome any frustration?

· Would you use it again?

Why not? Why? Under what circumstances?

· What did you learn about painting and your “thinking” by using a palette knife?

PAINTING EVALUATION:

Have you shown reflected color and shapes?

Choice of composition draws the eye through the painting from front to back. (not side to side) Tell where and how.

All objects ( shoes, cups, fabric,etc) appear to be in same light.

Did you SUMMARIZE, generalize, OR ITEMIZE the visual information. Refer to specific areas of your painting and be specific.

Kudos to another artist- whose work from among your classmates do you think met the criteria best? WHY?
