UNSUCCESSFUL

Most of the colours are very bright/saturated that leads to a lack of focus point. The lighter colours (i.e. tiffany blue, pink and yellow) also do not help define the form, showing which part pops up and has light hit on.

I do not like the composition since the woman is cropped in a strange way that now the neck is being focused on. There is a lack of interest in the subject even though the value gradation is interesting.

Due to the larger proportion of birds, it distracts the audience from the human face. And the foreground and background are not linked well through the cast shadows of birds that makes the drawing look like two separated layers.

It is interesting to see how the designers incorporate art into fashion by twisting the canvas and adjusting it to fit the shape of body. It breaks the boundary between art and fashion.

The composition is well-planned for the focus point (i.e. the face) is right at the centre, which is easily captured by the audience. And the imagery in the face guides the audience to the background. This creates a visual flow within the painting.

I like how the artist left much negative space in the drawing yet the audience can still imagine the posture of the muse. The strokes are free yet defined. It represents the title - muse very well.

The presentation of the artwork is fun that it requires a good setting (i.e. placement and lighting) to reveal the silhouette generated when light is hit on the pieces of paper. I appreciate the way the artist not only consider the art piece itself, but together with the surroundings.

I love how the art piece is fitted into the environment well through the posture, colours and values of the figure. It looks realistic though the drawing is done on a large scale.
