From this project, I’ve refined my skill to pay attention to little details and see things in a different manner using new vocabulary. My experience working on this project has shown  me the work standard in the creative field; meeting deadlines, showing progress and the steps taken to present the progress, and patience. From the beginning process in phases 1 & 2, the idea of brainstorming and doodling/sketching is heavily enforced; one must plan a rough draft before proceeding to the next phase of the project. In the developing phase—phase 3—the work is finally created, and presented, in a clean and organized manner, which we learned how to do with every little detail of the process; I would consider the develop phase as the presentation phase, as well.

From my experience working on this project, I’ve learned the differences between ambiguous and stable figure/ground relationships in everything we see. In my project, I feel like I could’ve been more patient with the inking process and utilize a protective garment to prevent my canvas from collecting finger smudges from leaning my hand on the wet ink. Another part of the project I would’ve improved on is keeping up with deadlines.
