FINAL REFLECTION
Through this workshop, we learned that art evolves when artists question traditions. Impressionist painters changed the way we see light and color. Sculptors like Rodin and Medardo Rosso transformed how the human figure could be represented.
We discovered that experimentation — whether with clay, color, or light — allows us to understand art more deeply. Breaking rules is not about rejecting the past, but about rethinking it creatively.
Art becomes meaningful when we explain our decisions, analyze our process, and connect our work to contemporary reality. Creativity grows when we dare to experiment.
