Courageous teamwork

I really enjoyed working with my group on this mural. We all worked as such a good team from the underpainting to the scattering of stars. Overall, i learned a lot about teamwork and leadership from this project.

The first part of the process was discussing the idea and composition. It took us a while to come up with ideas for the theme of our project until we realized that courage was a very broad topic that could also include many other themes inside of it. Our group was very good at respecting each others opinions and combining ideas. It was hard to think of other ideas besides the one at hand however, and i learned that i need to look beyond one idea and come up with more. 

The photoshop process i think went very well. Everyone equally contributed and helped a lot with putting together the image. We were very efficient when it came to priming the canvas, and had no problems as a group. The layout was also very smooth in cutting the paper to be even and everyone participated in the chalk line. 

For the painting part, everyone was very efficient in choosing where they can be of the most help to the group. If someone was having trouble with one part, another person would come help. I learned that speaking up is very effective if someone seems lost. Everyone in the group took critique very well and improved their technique. Our group also didnt fight over anything, we just discussed ideas.

There was a lot of talk about how everything could be improved consistantly. We discussed what to do with the background and the arc in depth  and finally decided on how to handle it. Overall i think that the people climbing the ladders were very successful and the objects in the background were as well. I learned a lot in this group about drawing and painting and also the idea process
