The benefits and challenges of collaborating with people is that more ideas can be made. The challenges of collaborating with people is that you don't always get along. I believe that the benefits of working with people outweigh the challenges. Our artwork attempts to rescue a memory by remembering how the seasons change, and the tie is valuable. Time changes very fast and you need to appreciate the moments you have.

There are both benefits and challenges to collaborating in a group assignment. One benefit is you can collectively share your ideas and viewpoints, leading you to develop an even more successful art piece. A challenge to working in a group is trying to agree on one single idea among everyone in your group. Kentridge's statement about optimism and pessimism can be directly related to our artwork. Our formation of a tree, shows both the dead and pessimistic side of a scenario, yet also shows it blossoming into something optimistic, or in other words a beautiful tree.

Collaboration on art projects allows you to share and expand your ideas. It can help you become a better artist. Although, working together can also be difficult because it requires you to have more patience and be cooperative with your group members. Kentridge's statement about optimism and pessimism can definitely relate to our artwork. Our tree is shown going through the seasons as it changes from summer to fall which is an example of something optimistic.
