For my fish slab that I made, I used the artistic behavior, artists reflect. Throughout my project a lot of detail went into creating the coral around the fish. I had to reflect on each coral piece to make sure it complimented all the other pieces. This was a little difficult due to how intricate coral is in the real world, but I focused on creating each piece as similar to real life coral as possible. I improved my artistic skills with trial and error by reflecting on how the coral pieces looked on the slab and asking myself what I could do next time to improve them. I think the most successful part of my project was a coral head I created because of the texture that I added to it. If i were to recreate this project I would probably make the fish a smaller ratio to the coral. I also used artists collaborate because of how Mary and I helped each other on our projects. We asked each other for out opinions to help us with details on our projects. I would ask her for ideas on how to create certain pieces of coral. For her tree she was making, I helped her with how she should position leaves on the branches. This helped me develop my artists collaborate artistic behavior.
