included all the things my other old artworks didn't detail. It had much

more detail which helped it and it overall looked better too. I also took my

time and spent more time with this art than any of my other old ones.

Paragraph # 3- Reflection Your answers here: some creative solutions I made to deal with

challenges, are to look back on my old artwork and to see the things I
really did good at and focus on that because if I am good at those things

Somethings to include
- About yourself learned some key things about making art, how it's ok to make mistakes
- About making art
- About life or how you should make art your own way. Another thing I learned about

life is how no matter how many mistakes you make you should keep trying

and how you should never give up. I learned this in art but it can be

applied to life as well and I will make sure to never forget this.
