I thought that my project had great composition. There was a good balance between lights and darks in the print. The colors I used complemented each other and made the picture visually appealing. I used the hair onthe wombot as a way to create texture. I created a balance of darks and lights and also selectively put colors in different places to add contrast. The contrast and texture help make the picture look more visually appealing and more life-like, which is always important when creating a print of something such as a wombat. I created positive and negative space by cutting out certain parts of the lino cut, and leaving others to create dark/light positive/negative space. I thought it was crafted with skill, considering the difficulty of drawing the different textures and parts of the wombat. Yes I was able to achieve depth, but I think the fore-ground was something I should of spent more time on. The obstacles of printmaking were getting around certain lines and certain areas that were small and needed to be cut. The advantages were gaining more depth and texture in a final art project, and also making the picture look more life-like.

  1. I like the balance but, you need too work on better texture and make it more realistic
