Reflection
When working on this project it was a very interesting process for me to start and finish. I really was able to stop and have my ideas gather, normally when working on my art pieces I throw myself into the project and have to real time to think. But in this peace we really had the time stop and play around and work on compositions, this for me give me time to breath and collect my ideas, due to this when i came around to working with the final product I really felt overwhelmed because I had so many ideas but I only had so much that I could represent. This is where I mainly struggled. The way i decided to compose my art piece made it that the rest of the ideas that I had did not flow with the peace that I had. This is why I chanced up the way that I was working with it. I really tried to work on the composition with this peace and I played with how the pieces flowed on the pages. Topic wise I tired to keep the peace minimalist and messy at the same time, i feel as if this really flows together as a finished topic. I was really inspired by a college a student did in one of my other classes, where he had taken 2 people and merged them with each other, this prompted me to try this on my own on my colleague. I feel the end result was well done when dealing with subject matter. my project was about the bliss of growing up. While the rest of the world continues with or without you, I really tried to focus on tragedies and the relation between growing up and how the rest of the world is still progressing even if you are a person is not. Over all the project was enjoyable and I had a fun time working on the process.
