Reflecting on Group Work

Working in a group on one artwork has been more difficult than I expected. I thought because everyone in my group is friends and we all have our own strengths it would be easier. We all have our own ideas and what we think would look good which makes it hard. When you make art on your own, you can do whatever you want to it and use all the ideas you have in your head. With a group, you have to be able to compromise and admit that some of other peoples ideas are good and better than your own. Even though it has been hard, there are many great things that have come up while working. Once my group stuck to a plan and idea of what to do, we knew we wanted to make it happen. We all agreed on a specific plan and had an idea of how to work with everyone's strengths and weaknesses. We were able to mix colors correctly to a shade everyone agreed on and work on one paper all at the same time without getting too frustrated. I feel like I have helped the group out with ideas. I am a very organized person, so when I knew something would not look right or would not look good I was able to say it. Once we started the mural everything came together and as of right now, I really like how the mural looks!
