REFLECTION

How is the word that you chose (if it is not your name) relevant to you? How is the imagery (the symbols, designs, and/or pictures around your word) relevant? The SZ stands for Sam Zid. The background i had a checkered background and some circles with dots, arrows, and swirls to add some different shape.

What color scheme did you choose? Why? I didn't really stick to a color scheme and instead used a lot of different colors, but i did stratigicly place them where they looked appropriate. I did it b/c I wanted a lot of different colors like a disco.

What part of the project did you excel in? What part of the project posed a challenge? I exceled in the water color part, especially when i learned that the paint spreads very good. A part that was hard for me was when i was laying the gutta. This was hard for me b/c my hand was shaking and i slipped into it a couple times.
