2. Did you complete five preliminary
sketches of your planned composition?
3. Does each object melt, bend, and
fuse into the next?
4. Are unnecessary details and/or
textures eliminated to create a new
form?
5. Do all objects appear three-dimensional with similar light and shadows?
6. Are subtle transitions used
between objects?
7. Have anthropomorphic characteristics been incorporated?
8. Is the composition balanced and
floating in the center of the paper?
