Picture

Three Goals

Image 1: Simple reflection, should have some complexity to it.
Image 2: Organic shape with cut-out reflections
Image 3: Scene with cutouts on all four sides. must fit on paper

Things to Consider___________________________________________________________________________________
  • All three images should be cohesive and relate to each other
  • Aesthetically, the images should be similar. ie., same paper, same style: Principals of Art: Unity
  •  Craftsmanship is important. Pay attention to the quality of cuts, messy gluing, Images should line up, anything that affects quality
