A.) How has your thinking about solving problems evolved or changed during this unit?
Regarding the issue of problem solving, my thinking has been changed tremendously. At the beginning of the unit I was doubtful that artists could really solve problems- once you mess something up, usually its game over, right? Well, I learned otherwise. Even if you make mistakes in your final piece, there is always a way to redeem its beauty- whether the method is by masking the flaw, or enhancing it.
B.) How did you apply problem solving strategies in your work this unit, like experimenting or improving solutions?
I applied my problem solving techniques with the method that I went about creating my final project. I chose to finger paint a human face, trying my best to add some value. To prevent from messing the whole thing up, I first sketched out what I wanted the face to look like, and then painted over the shapes and images that I had already drawn. It was basically like creating my own map of my artwork-to-be.
C.) What do you think about the experience of working with the limitation you selected? How did your work evolve during the final project?
I did encounter some struggle when approaching the deadline for the project. It hadn’t come out exactly the way I had planned it to. However, with the help and mastermind of my absolutely brilliant art teacher, I was able make it look better in my eyes. Initially, my final project wasn't perfect, and it still isn’t, but with the use of problem solving techniques, I was able to make it better.
