4. What did you learn by doing this activity?
Overall, the most successful aspects of my mural are the abstract shapes and patterns I incorporated into the design. Each shape has its own unique character and adds interest to the composition. Additionally, the placement of the shapes creates a sense of movement and flow within the piece.
I did encounter some difficulties when creating my artwork, particularly when trying to come up with a cohesive design that would work well on a large scale. To work through this, I started by sketching out different ideas and experimenting with different arrangements of shapes until I found a composition that I was happy with.
In hindsight, I think I would have liked to include more variety in the shapes used in my mural. While I like the overall look of the design, I think incorporating a wider range of shapes could have added even more visual interest to the piece.
Through this activity, I learned the importance of experimentation and iteration in the creative process. By trying out different ideas and being open to making changes, I was able to create a mural that I am proud of. I also learned the importance of considering the location of a mural when designing it, as this can have a significant impact on how the artwork is perceived.
