- Artists might reflect and evaluate their artwork before it is complete to make improvements to refine their work.
- Artists evaluate their work to help them reflect on their choices and become better artists over time.
- The surface design of an artwork is the process of decorating, altering, or adding texture to the surface.
Keywords
