balance reading summary

Final Pieces and Critique

My group was quite surprised when they found out that the boxes were actually raised off the page by stacked newspaper all glued together. My group really liked how the boxes descended in hight as they were closer to the center of the background. although they thought it was weird that the second tallest square was smaller than the third smallest, but that was like that in the original composition. Other than that they would have liked to see the smallest square actually raised off the page, and the edges of the background to be more crisp because they were a little rough.
