As I look back on my piece of artwork, I noticed some of the flaws that I could have fixed such as some of the book titles on the spines or the "wood" of the bookshelf doesn't look authentic. I also noticed the things that I did well which was the theme that reading is important and the exciting colors on the piece. I also think that my piece as a whole is different than anyone else in the class and I am proud of it because it is on a larger scale than I am used to.

I wanted to create a meaning for my piece that showed that reading is important. I showed my personal favorite books and I made the colors on the piece exciting to look at to show that reading is exciting. I wanted the audience to be intrigued by my bookshelf and maybe it would inspire them to read.

I observed during my project by making sure that the elements and principles of design were clearly prevalent in my piece. I used line when I drew the outline for the books and bookshelf. I also used color on the book spines. There were many other elements and principles that I used that were shown and I used my observation to make sure that they were clearly shown.

I committed to a large scale project and I followed through by making a timeline for myself. I made sure that certain things would be done by certain times. I also overcame some obstacles such as mess ups, which I covered with paint or white out. I followed through with my project and I made sure that my vision was accurate to the final piece.

I developed craft during this project because I kept my hand steady while painting along the lines. I also used the small paintbrushes to my advantage because if I would have used the smaller paintbrushes, then it would have been harder to keep everything neat. I also used the space to my advantage because I filled the entire page with books.

During this project I went out of my comfort zone because I don't usually like to do things on bigger scales and I had never been so precise about my painting before because I had to stay in the lines. This project was a growing experience in my art because of how I pushed myself to go on a larger scale and how neat my artwork is.

At the beginning of the project, my piece that I envisioned in my mind was a old bookshelf with all of my favorite books on it. My vision was blurry but I knew what I wanted. As I progressed in the painting, my vision became more and more clear. After I started looking up book spines, my vision that I had in my head was complete.

I used my understanding of the art worlds in this project by learning new ideas and techniques and looking to other artists for inspiration. I looked at two artists for a reference image on my piece and they both influenced how I did my project. I also used new technique that I had never done before. I used sharpie over top of the acrylic paint to make the spines of the books.
