During this unit I learned how to creatively combine two ideas/images into one piece. Through my drawing I improved on shading and sketching to plan my work. Previously, I almost never sketched ideas before I began my final piece but as I was required to for this project, I improved on that. I also learned that using ideas from other people to create a new piece of artwork is completely acceptable.
Before starting this unit, I thought that for a piece of art to be original it had to be a completely new idea. However through this project I have learned that no artwork is completely new and reusing other people's ideas is great, as long as you use them in a different way. Even if you got your ideas for an art piece from another work, your art is still original and is still good.
My biggest challenge during this unit was deciding which ideas to turn into projects. I spent too much time dwelling on this decision that I could have put into my final pieces. If I could change anything from this unit, I would spend more time on my final drawings and less time on planning which pieces to do. My successes included ending up with final drawings that I really like and had fun completing, especially the character remix and two-to-one projects.
