Group Critique: Dip Dab

It was interesting to take the time and analyse each others work because although we know roughly what one another is doing we didn’t know the details behind the piece or ever taken the time to properly look at pieces that we have created. 


I gained some positive feedback about my piece that was really an outcome of playful experimentation. The contrast between qualities of line and vividness of colour was something that standed out in the feedback; along with how the oil pastels resisted the inks. 


In addition, I also gained a new perspective on my work with some feedback such as whether to portray conversation in a more obvious way. I could understand where this comment was coming from, however I feel that the subtle differences and contrasts within a piece is what makes a big overall effect. However, I felt that maybe by making these contrasts a little more obvious it would not be a wasteful thing to experiment with. 


Another aspect of my work that was highlighted was the use of geometric shapes and how they are layered. I intend to expand on this in more depth and look at new ways to layer shapes in interesting and dynamic ways.
