I’m very proud of how I mixed realistic and unrealistic features into the piece.
How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment?
I developed my Information skills by researching a topic I’m not familiar with to search for information I don’t often search for.
What was most difficult about completing this task?
What was most difficult was trying to do an art piece in such an abstract style as I usually try to stick to anatomical correctness.
How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do differently?
I think I could make my lines a bit cleaner and blend the colors more evenly.
How does this relate to what you have learned in the past?
It’s been a while since I learned to draw with pastels, but I was able to use a lot of the skills I learned to create this piece.
How can you apply this to future learning?
This activity taught me a lot about Picasso and his history. I think this is just interesting to know in general as an aspiring artist because of his fame.
