Audrey,
Even though you said that you really didn't know how to start with this project I feel that the finished projects definately came out as a success. MY favorite two were the kayak/pencil one and the egg one. The colors are very brilliant and vivid, which immediately draws me in. I also love the shape that you made with the pencils. The way that they're jagged wouldn't normally remind me of kayaks, but once I saw them together I almost can't think of a better choice. I would like to know how you also made the pencils look as they did. I can't find a whole pencil in there.. did you move them back and forth? Either way it is a killer effect.
As for the eggs one, not only is it extremely comical, but I love the shape and 3D effect you get with scanning the eggs. Did you plan that face to happen, or did he do that all on his own? Kudos. I like the mix of the colors of the scanned egg, it plays nicely with the yolk/egg white combinated of the fried eggs. Until I got a saw the diptych full size I didn't even notice the little markings on the egg carton. There's a little heart, looks like a game of tic-tac-toe and the word "yay" semi-carved in there. I love little things like that, that you wouldn't normally notice until you took a closer look. Great job all togehter Audrey.

Even though anything I write here is subject to whatever I heard during critique, I will try to be original.
Even though Meg said the eggs weren't really doing much for her, I'm gonna go ahead and say that the egg picture is the strongest picture in the 4 in terms of formal composition. The scanner-bed effect on the eggs is luminous. They're tactile---I want to pick one up and feel it in my hand. The narrative connection with the other side is obvious, but that doesn't interest me so much. Narrative is less important than people make it out to be, I think. My favorite thing about the picture is how it is divided horizonatlly into two picture planes as well. The line of the egg carton continues perfectly into the next frame via the kitchen wall. That quality makes this picture hold my attention.
