I think there are several reasons why Mrs. Guyer assigned us the "In Our Time Project." I think that this project allowed us to learn a lot about the creation of any piece of art. When working on this project we had to learn to stay in the lines. We had to know what nice craftsmanship is. We had to learn to be neat, detailed, and efficient at the same time. I think we also learned that it is important to have meaning in your work. We also learned how to use Photoshop during this project, because technology is a great tool to incorporate in your projects.
I got to experience the creative process in a different manner. I got to work with a group on brainstorming, and we built off of each others ideas. I also learned how to incorporate an artists style in my piece. I got to know Photoshop better which allowed me to have an easier time with painting. When painting, i learned that sometimes brushes can completely change your experience. It's hard to paint very geometric images with a bad paintbrush.
If i had more time i think i could have taken more time with my painting. I wish i would have bought finer brushes so that i could really make everything look more "complete." I wish i would have taken more time overall to complete every piece of the painting. I really needed to improve some small problem areas. I also would have liked using a different method to transfer my image. I had some wrinkled spots on my piece and i felt like it made it look poorly done. I think that time and some of the materials i used made my experience a bit harder than it should have been, but if i redid it i think i would have done a lot better.
