2. Theme: Each production needs to have something thematic that ties it together (such as an underwater scene or cloud scene)
3. Color & Composition: Usage of color and the way the items in the mural are laid out
4. Can control & Technique: Are the lines clean and the fades smooth?
5. Unity: How well does all the artists work well to bring one cohesive piece together?
