Reflection

• What have I learned in this module ? I think this module really helped me so much in understanding how to make a design look more balanced and meaningful. I learned how different elements could improve the visual better. Before this module, i didn't really understand and pay attention to details and compositions, but now i understood how important they are in making an artwork stands out.

• What did i enjoy the most ? The thing i enjoyed the most was trying out different mediums and seeing how they changes to my artwork. I love doing mix media art because they made my artwork more texture and depth making it looks visually interesting. It felt exciting to experiment and see how small details could bring a huge differences to my work.

• What did i not enjoy ? One thing that i struggled was planning the composition. Sometimes, it was hard to arrange the elements in a way that feels and looks right, and i had to redraw or made multiple sketches of the same concept. It was pretty frustrating, but this process made me realized that good design takes time and adjustments.

• What have i learned about myself ? I feel like I've become more confident in making art because of the design principles i learned. I also realized that i enjoy expressing emotions through abstract and symbolic elements like Van Gogh, that's why i choose his art since it resonates with me and i feel the we are pretty alike in expressing emotions. Lastly, this module made me think more deeply, so i could create artworks with deep and meaningful stories.

• What has changed and what has not ?  This module changed how i see design. Before, i just focused on making things look pretty and nice, without even thinking on the composition, but now i think more about meaning behind them. However, my love for creating and expressing myself through art haven't changed at all. 

• My aspiration. I want to keep improving my skill and explore new techniques. I want to keep growing as an artist so i can create meaningful artworks that inspire people and make them feel understood. I hope one day i can reach a stage where my art can help others, especially those struggling with mental health, by expressing emotions they relate to. Through my art, i want to show that they are not alone and their feelings are valid.
