Painting 3

Requirements:

Realism 1 2 3 4

I used a grid for accurate scaling and proportion. Overall the finished product looks like the person or animal intended. (Advanced only- I incorporated a pattern/design around my subject matter)

Technique (x2) 1 2 3 4

All values are present and in the correct location. I layered multiple coats of paint so there would not be brush strokes on my art work. I painted background to foreground. I painted with a consistent style.

Craftsmanship 1 2 3 4

I displayed appropriate technical skills. My project is neatly made and strong in its construction and appearance (paper is not ripped, no pencil marks etc…).

Employability Skills

Art was my primary focus each day. My attendance strong. My phone/social did not interfere with my productivity.
