Project 5: Judging

My questions were:

1) Does the draping allow your eye to travel around the statue?

2) What is interesting/catches your eye?

3) What can be improved?

Those that I talked with did say the draping around the back and arms did allow the eye to travel, but it was only traveling downward Ryan Scott suggested the scarf around her neck be included in the draping and that the cloth makes a cross when it drapes behind the statue. Kim and Ryan both suggested a one shoulder draping and the cloth wraping around to the other arm. I’ll post new sketches of the draping once I get access to a scanner.

The main that caught people’s interest is the star on her forehead. The point of the star leads the viewer’s eye down into the statue.

The currently the main point to improve on is the draping and Ryan mentioned having the point on the middle of the draping in the back to align with the point of the star on her forehead to have a little bit of symmetrical lining.

Some of the less repeated comments/suggestions were commenting on the facial expression. One mentioned having the eyes open while a couple said it looked fine with her eyes closed since she’s praying.

Ryan also had asked what the final piece would turn out to be like. Either an 3D model in a 2d setting or a rotating animation around the statue. I was thinking of the final project to be a 3d rotation showing off the statue.
