The filter effects are well integrated into the image. Student uses selections and layers to combine objects skillfully. Without knowledgeable use of masking tools viewer is still aware of the individual selections. Use of manipulations (color, distortion, transformation and arrangement) show a clear intent. It tells the story.

Stretch:

Use of Medium - Intermediate

twirl filter, pinch/pull filter on black layer, drawings that were scanned in, circular themes repeated, mixed media piece, isolated features,

This piece appears to be telling a story. To move up a level, the individual features would be combined to form more of a 'whole.'

Score 3. Comments: Selections are pretty rough. Purposeful use of transformations and filters.
