Student Objective:
(Write in Sketchbook)

Visually analyze my in-progress sculpture to determine what it needs in order for it to “read” as complete, so that it has all the PRINCIPLES of DESIGN (VARIETY & EMPHASIS, RHYTHM & MOVEMENT, BALANCE, and HARMONY & UNITY):

Questions to ask while Visually Analyzing:

1. Where does my attention go first?  Do I have a FOCAL POINT?   What am I emphasizing?

2.   Does the shape/line of the FORMS move RHYTHMICALLY through space? Does one FORM/shape move seamlessly into another or are there gaps in visual movement?
 
3. Does the imagery/color/designs/textures/patterns painted on the surface of the FORMS enhance the form and help the viewer to move from one place in the sculpture to another? Or are the forms painted in a way that distracts/does not make sense with the Form?

4. What is the level of my craftsmanship? Is my application of paint messy or have I paid attention to detail; even if my brushwork is loose, does each area of applied paint work with the areas around it?

5. What does my sculpture’s shape mean? What does it visually communicate? How does my application of paint on the surface help communicate my idea and define the FORM?
