Why did you think the artist arranged the subjects in this manner?
He was trying to draw a person instead of sceneries like he usually does
What do you think the Artist is trying to communicate in the artwork? How does the artwork make you feel?
That unique artsyles can be used to draw humans
it makes me feel hopeful, for i still do not know how to draw humans
How do you think the elements of art were used to convey the Artist's intentions?
Texture, helps to increase how realistic it looks

Its unique and seems to have certain emotions conveyed
What are you wonder about the Artist's thought processes?

how the person looks... its a mix of colours, perhaps empathsising on confusion?

what other works of art did he make?
What do you like to keep, destroy or replace? Why?
KEEP! Every artpeice has its own unique message, and while it may not appeal to us, there are others who will appreciate it
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PRINTMAKING (SILKSCREEN PRINTING) AND PAINTING? WHICH DO YOU PREFER AND WHY?
My Reflections: I prefer painting, as you can make unique blends of colours that only you may like! This can help one express their own talents and creativeness
HOW WOULD I LIKE TO IMPROVE MY WORK IF I WERE DO MY SILKSCREEN OR PAINTING AGAIN? PLS SPECIFY ONE TYPE.
My Reflections: I would like a few more colour options, like black as blending colours mostly result in a brownish mess instead of shiny, pure black
I feel that black would be a better colour for hair
