Polygon portrait artist reflection: 

The strongest part of my art work is most of the shapes look like triangles, and the shades of each triangle.  I can improve on making the shapes look more like the original picture. If I gave myself more time on this art piece I would make sure each triangle touched and none of them would overlap.  For this picture I used the pen tool, the eyedropper tool, direct selection tool, and the color grid. I used the pen tool to trace the faces and facial features first then I connected the points to make triangles. I did the same for the rest of the picture. Then I used the direct selection tool to select each triangle individually and I used the eyedropper tool to add correct color within each shape. The easiest part about this art piece was filling in the triangles. It was a lot of work but it was the easiest part. The hardest part about this art piece was tracing the picture to match it perfectly and connecting points. Because you would have to find the right two points to match together so the picture would have lines crossing each other and etc. I was able to demonstrate the use of stroke and fill by outlining the picture and filling it with the appropriate color. If I was assigned this again something I would do differently is try and make different shapes, and focus more filling in each triangle and little details like the lips and eyes and eyebrows. I would rate my effort a 8 because I didn’t try as hard as I should have and didn’t focus on the little details .
