Critique Reflection

Overall, the critique we had yesterday on each person's work was very interesting because I had the chance to see my classmates' strengths and weaknesses. In addition, we had the opportunity to speak about our work and reflect on ourselves as artists. It is very useful to have critiques because we get to really get advice from others and see our work from different perspectives. I think that the critique went out pretty well because we all shared our ideas and remained respectful of each others art. I look forward to future critiques.

Food Piece

I am currently working on a piece using beans as my medium. I am planning to create a rosary by using beans. I am using beans because I feel that beans represent humility and I am doing a rosary because it represents hope and religion. Overall, I am focusing my piece on the theme of culture. That is because I am a Latina and want to make a representation of the humilty of many Latin people and the hope many of us carry. Also, I want to show the importance of Latin traditional foods, such as beans, and the belief in Christ many Latin people have. Food and religion have a big impact my culture. I am strguggling with the composition of my rosary. Overall, I am considering on making more than one rosary. Overall, I believe I have a very strong idea on what I want to do. I will continue planning my composition. Hopefully my piece will be as strong as my idea.

Forks

I think the composition of this piece is really strong because the forks intersect. Although this piece is not finished, I am struggling on making the forks look like metal.
