Critique

I am very happy with the outcome of this project. It very clearly looks like street-art, and is similar to a Banksy piece as intended. It successfully appropriates from Banksy's work while still having enough of a personal message to stand apart in its own right. The final product truly encapsulates the ideas I set out to communicate, and acts as an effective outlet to distribute that idea to the general audience. It is definitely a much clearer message than the one put across in my first attempt. Additionally, I believe that the artwork is visually pleasing, and that besides just having a strong, clearly communicated message, it is also compositionally and chromatically sound. The work satisfies the requirements of the project in that it borrows from a contemporary artist, includes an image that does not belong to me, and also can be used for monetary benefit as explained in the above sections. Even my inner critic is satisfied with the outcome.
