Areobindus, Byzantium, 506 AD, Louvre.

Critique
• Composition: is it Balanced?– Distribution of visual
weight of objects– Does it feel stable?– Can be:
• Symmetrical• Asymmetrical• Radial
Critique
• Value and Shading– How light or dark it is– Middle grays, the haze of
transparency
• Contrast– The relative difference
between light and dark areas
Critique
• Craftsmanship– Neat and clean– Did not rush– Did not take shortcuts
• Time Management– Is class time used
efficiently
