My Hidden Self

How does this image show your hidden self?
I find this picture portrays a lot of dreams I have for the future that many people wouldn't expect. These include traveling, walking up the CN tower and putting and end to world hunger. I don't tend to dwell on the past because you never know what tomorrow will bring. I included brushes of clocks to show that hope I see in the future. I love playing cards, but in this image they have a double meaning. The second is that you can pick the hand you`re dealt in life, but you definitely decide how you play your cards.When I was younger I wanted to play guitar for the kids at London`s Children Hospital, but I quit lessons and really want to start again when I have time. Also, I like to consider myself a capable artist, but many people would find that surprising because I don't show that side of myself to everyone. I've recently discovered I enjoy the emotion I can show through painting which is why I am painting in this picture. When I look at water I can get a lot of emotion so I put the paintbrush making a drop of water. The trees are to represent stability and growth. I love being there for other people and in order to help them through their problems I have to be stable. I never plan on growing up completely, staying a kid forever would be great, but right now I'm making decisions where I feel like I`m growing up quickly. There are many sides of me people don`t know about yet but hopefully they will soon :)

What aspect of your image do you feel is most successful and why
I like how the images completely fill up the picture so there are no blank areas your eyes are drawn to. Also I like that your eye moves around the page with the angles of the images.

What aspect of your image to you feel is least successful and why
I find the image kind of bland because of the lack of contrast, and the amount of blue I used.

If you could do this project again, what changes would you make to improve it
I would increase the contrast and amount of orange or another colour. I would like to have put more thought into my images so their purpose was not as clear, but that's not the picture itself as much as the thought behind it. Some areas of the picture look sharp and bold which draw my eye away from others so I`d work on overall balance.

My Hidden Self

Five things most people don't know about me are:
1) I started playing guitar and plan to take it up again in the future.
2) I think food is art, and the better its displayed the better it tastes.
3) I genuinely enjoy helping people even if it's in the smallest ways.
4) My birthday is the same day as my Nanny's.
5) My favourite place in the world is either my cottage or the lookout tower.

Three things my friends would say about my personality would be I'm dedicated, I'm helpful, and I'm outgoing yet quiet.

If I could change in some way, or portray a side of myself more to the world I'd start off by showing my artistic skills more, they're kind of my hidden talent. I would become more patient with people who are close to me. I've wanted to join SAC since grade 9 but never have. My life gets too busy sometimes, I wish I could slow it down to take the time to recognize the beauty in small things.

I have many goals and dreams for the future-a bucket list of 78 and counting actually. My top five would have to be to:
1) figure out what I love to do most in this world, and do it forever (career wise)
2) paint a mural
3) climb the steps of the CN tower
4) put an end to hunger
5) travel to Scotland, England, Greece, France, and Italy

Over all, I seem like a quite, determined, over-achiever yet I see myself as enthusiastic, creative and considerate. I have many hopes and dreams for the future and would rather do something huge and be known for it than comtinue with little works without recognition.
