Analyze How is the work organized? What elements or principles of design are
used? Use art vocabulary to analyze the work.
Lines: What kind of lines are in the work? Straight, curved, dotted,
broken, wavy, jagged, textured, horizontal, vertical diagonal, contour or
outlines. Were the lines created by abrupt color, value or texture changes?
(2-3 sentences) This work includes many lines, but they are all basic and
don't variate much, some are curved, and some staight, but I feel that
there is room for expansion. There is only handmade lines in this work and
no lines generate through the use of contast or combined shape formation.



Color and Value
Are the colors warm, cool, bright, dull, light, opaque or transparent?
Values resulting from combinations of lights and darks, or shades and
tints of a color.
Shapes (two-dimensional) and forms (three-dimensional),
representational, abstract, organic, geometrical, open, closed.
Texture Rough, smooth, coarse, soft, bumpy, hairy, shady, etc.
Simulated you can see but not feel it or real. (Dont confuse texture
with pattern the repetition of some motif in a recognizable order,
such as polka dots or a checkerboard.
(2-3 sentences) the lack of color in this gives a 2D boring feeling, you
see two colored ball thingies, and then are left with no other coloration,
the face lookes very good in this case, but lacks the ability to catch my
interest because there is no strong coloration



Balance: What contributes to balance in the composition? Is the balance
symmetrical, asymmetrical or radial? (2 -3 sentences)the balance in this
work is completley symetrical and centered, making me lose insteresst
quickly and failing to give me a feeling of see a true piece of work rather
than something that has yet to be completed.



Interpret What message does this artwork communicate to you?
Write about the feeling, mood or message of this work. Defend your
interpretation with evidence from the description and analysis information above
and/or use art history or past experiences.
(3-5 sentences)This work seems very incomplete, i see it ans feel that there is
a lot missing, the face shows unqie emotion, but there is nothing to tell us why
the emtotion or the head of the person even exists at all.








Judge What do you think of the work?
Write about the success of this work, explain.
(3-5 sentences)This work is great in the formation of basic lines and shapes, but fell
shout beyond that. the work lack the ability to generate interest and would be much more
compelling if it had coloration. Hunter T. masonm
