I think I did quite a good job! I also follow the creative process, too!

Preparation: I take a selfie and use the picture I satisfy the most as the model.

Incubation: I was planning to make 2 of the lips stick together but not tilt like that(like what happens to the picture).

Insight: I listen to musics and take a small rest, and I found that I can make it look like I am talking, so I add talking bubble and a cup to fit the content I write.

Evaluation: I ask Lenna if the lips look odd, and she so it is fine.

Elaboration: ◀look at the picture!

Identify the strengths and areas for improvement of your artwork.

 I think the best thing is that I draw my small little figure very well and it's very cute and it's like from a child's TV show. I think I can extend more content and make the plot stronger to connect more to my real life. Also I want to make more pop-up structures(like 5 pages or more). I think I spent a lot of effort on this so I think I'm quite satisfied with it because I do everything I can and I draw my small little figure very well. I love him! Another good part of my pop up book is that I think it can connect to all sorts of people, not only me. Something that can be improved is that I want to have more pages like what I just said before. Also I want my artwork to have more shades and look less flat. If I can restart, I want to make the structure fit the horizontal or vertical text because I messed up with this. Now the readers want to turn their head 90 degrees every page and their neck will definitely hurt. 

Identify ideas that changed because of your new understanding of what art is.

 The new idea I learned about art is that sometimes painting or books don't need to be flat or 2D. You can use mechanisms to make it into 3D. The ideas about art that have changed because of my learning experience are that you can make the character the main character by comparing their size and show the contrast. Old believe about art that change after studying art in the past years is that art is not just painting, and installation art can not only be a device to stay still till the end.

Identify the strong work ethics, attitudes, and behavior that contribute to the success of your artwork.

One of the few habits that contribute to the sucess of the artwork is that I never cut the porcess at the mid stage and I keep the work going. My attitude affects my creation, such as when I was on the first pag, I felt kind of well so I write a lot of words. Then in the end I don't feel it well because my mom is distracting me, so I write fewer words and leave a simple bad ending.

How do you make good use of “the ugly stage” of your artwork?

The ugly stage is that when I was at the last page, I didn't know how make use of the folding part, so I just kept it there. Later I found out that it can be a tombstone. I quickly drew a tombstone on it and it worked! I think the ugly stage of the artwork is important because nothing goes well and nothing will follow your mind completely. There is a struggle and the struggle will make this art world come to life and impressive.

Why are artists considered as problem solvers and why is art a problem-solving skill?

 A difficult decision I made in this art work business because I don't know how to make the first page. I made a master but it didn't come out. What I can do is rip the whole page and I just give up on it but I soon finished all the pages. The problem-solving skill in this creation is that I mess up with the words and story and the plot so I restart by ripping the page off. Another one is that I make is that the anvil at the first page is too big, so I extend the pop up part of it, and make it looks like it is at the very front and it is good and not odd.

Can art provide a unique form of knowledge about human experience that logic, science, and language are fundamentally incapable of expressing?

Art can be an important subject and it can be a unique subject but it depends on how you look at it. If you look at it as a normal class for scores or for the hard work or record for the life and the future, it's just a normal subject. However, if you look at it as a way to express your feelings to make your stress disappear and let go of the pressure, it is a very unique and special subject. Because you can learn how to express your feeling with paper and ink and paint... or even with creations and artworks. And you can learn how to connect yourself with an object or with a drawing. In that case, art is never a subject. It is an activity and a friend of yours. Art is a very important part of my life, it stay with me since I was very young, I don't know what is my feeling and what is stress. Therefore I grab crayons and paper to draw different smile, but the color and the eyebrow are different. That is the time when I know that art can bring feelings away. We can make art in our life by doing it everyday, or every week. You just need to connect, and merge yourself with it.
