Painting: Final Acrylic Painting

 FINAL ACRYLIC PAINTING

Assignment #1  - Reflection
In this assignment, you'll reflect on what you've done so far to get a better picture of what you should do for your final painting.  You can use all of your art classes here at Westville for this reflection.
Write full paragraphs for each of the following.
If possible, include illustrations.




a) What was a project you did in art class (this year or previous years) that you think was unsuccessful.  Why was it unsuccessful?  What could you have done better?
b)  What was a project that you did in art class that you think was very successful?  What did you get right in this project?  Have you used what you did well in this project in subsequent projects?
c) What is something that you wish you had been able to do in art class but never got around to?   Why didn't you get around to it?  How could you incorporate this into your final acrylic painting project?
d) What is your favorite art piece (not made by you or anyone here atWestville )?  What do you like about this art piece?  How can you steal from this art piece in your own work?  This one should have an illustration.
