critical/reflective and creative thinking skills

I reflected on my piece, “Growth” throughout the making of it, when faced with issues in my artwork i would frequently go to my teacher or friends/family for advice on how to fix the issue. I used resources like the internet to aid me in correctly painting the clouds, tree, and grass, when I sought to find ways to improve the piece, I would practice them on pieces of paper or my computer. When creating the idea for the piece I sort looked inside myself and searched for something that had been relevant to myself, I personally have trouble making anything that I don’t feel compelled to make, and I find it hard to come up with ideas when I have nothing to say. I stumbled upon the idea of self-growth-since I’d been struggling with that- and found ways to show that in a sort of profound way.
