Reflection

Creating this composition by hand was very challenging but help me develop better skill in line weight and cutting with the exacto knife. I began my process by drawing out my composition with the help of my ruler to make sure my lines were straight and my measurements were correct. I used very light line weight when drawing and cutting out my composition. I wasn’t satisfied with just the inverted depth of shapes on each 8 by 8, so I took the inverted shapes and put them all together like a puzzle. If I were to make any adjustments to my composition, I would make sure that my cutting is more precise and that I take more time positioning my squares to improve my craft.
