**Reflection:**
What successes did you have?
One success I had was capturing the moment of connection between the boy and his dog. The way I portrayed their interaction with the boy petting Sparky created a warm and inviting atmosphere that reflects the bond they share.
What challenges did you face?
One challenge I faced was achieving the right proportions between the boy and the dog. I struggled to get the sizes to look natural together, which made it difficult to create a balanced composition.
What did you learn by creating an artwork that tells a story?
By creating an artwork that tells a story, I learned the importance of narrative in art. I realized that every element, from the characters to the setting, contributes to the overall message and emotion of the piece. This experience taught me to think more deliberately about how to convey a story visually.
