Composite Project Critique

I thought that the critique of my composite project was useful in highlighting the changes I could make.  I had already thought about how I could make the shadows more realistic and less distracting, and the ideas that were brought to my attention were constructive.  I will probably go back into the project to soften some of the shadows and change the brightness of the figures that would be under the shadow of the large head. 

Homework 2/11

I thought it was interesting to read about the multiple allusions to volcanoes associated with the Civil War and freedom of slaves.  However, if I were to just look at Church's Cotopaxi without knowing the context of its creation I would have assume it was done much later than 1862.  The vibrancy of the colors and their stark contrast makes it seem like it was done through digital means.  That might just be because it is scaled down a lot to fit in the article though.
