Week 3 Self-Critique

"Toy Ziggurat"
-Junhao Wang

Self-Critique
1. Description

• It's a simple ziggurat in an open, dessert space.
• The ziggurat is earth-colored, and has little bits of decoration and coloring.

2. Analysis

• Elements of Art Found- line, space, color, shape
• Color-the work has employed the use of color.
• Principles of Design Found- emphasis, balance, scale, pattern
• Scale-perspective was used to create a sense of proportion and scale
• Balance- the ziggurat is placed in the center of the work.
• Emphasis- some portions of the ziggurat are colored differently for emphasis.
• Pattern- a repetitive pattern is found at the botom of the ziggurat.

3. Interpretation

• The colors used and the simple design give me the impression of the toy.  Once again, not a dramatic work-maybe a little silly in some eyes.

4. Evaluation

• A ziggurat was drawn that takes from Mesopotamian architecture.
• The use of perspective in the work is done well.
• The coloring and use of color is not very nice-it doesn't look smooth or appealing.
• The patterns drawn on the ziggurat do not look very "realistic".
