Among the radiant sights of ora and fauna are where we live our lives.

Beautiful bursts of color

and life surround us. From the bright auburn skies of dawn, to the gentle greens of our thriving

forests, to the shining purples of lavender and lilacs. In this re ection I’m going into

development of this viewpoint.

I did my particular order in the process in which we did them. Staring with the Expedition

Proposal, followed by the Narrative and its Artist Statement. Past that is my Advertisement

poster and its Artist Statement, following I would’ve put the podcast but I am unable to link it,

no matter what I try, unfortunately. I separated my discussions from my notes and drafts. The

discussions go from the most recent week to the farthest because its in a blog style. The drafts

and notes I put in order from actual drafts (of which there’s one) to any notes and brainstorming

sessions which are e ectively the same thing in writing.

The revision I made was for my advertisement. I felt rushed and devoid of artistic expression. In

the revision I added a scenery background and mixed up the colors a little to make it feel more

stylistic. The remix was for my narrative, which I did a video, to show a better view of what my

poetry meant for those who aren’t as poetically intuitive.

My writing is a large piece of who I am. During this process I’ve found out a lot about who I am

and what my place in this world is. It’s been a deceptively large task that had been laid in front

of me. Not just to show my development in writing structures, but the impact of individualistic

principles on our everyday lives. To say that my work has bene tted me would be a gross

understatement for what I have achieved in a matter of months.

Its been shown to me that I have more of a voice on matters than I originally anticipated. I’ve

gone between being quiet and loud my whole life but the di erence is not as big as you may

think. The quiet and loud have become a yin-yang style in my expression. To speak with

 conviction but without malice. To speak my mind but without oppression. To be myself without

fear of changing tides.

My improvement both in and out of composition deals with the knowledge of my being and the

path of life that had been chosen. Whether you believe I chose it or someone chose it for me,

My fate is set. Only through the deeper connections to my psychological understandings

can I improve beyond my current skillset and achieve something remarkable and valuable.

I’ve accomplished much, through my change in artistic style, dealing more in vivid imagery and

metaphor rather than the “logistical” but overall lack of passion, drive and personal voice in my

work. Along the same lines, I’ve found a good understanding in composition that many had

failed to show me. Between the various lines of Shakespeare and the poems of prison-like

wallpaper in my past, it failed to resonant.

My nal piece is this. Don’t get hung up on the past. The future is full of wonders and

excitement. Full of color and life, but the past is set in stone. No color, no change, no wonder.

So don’t rehash the past, learn from your mistakes and take a moment to enjoy the view along

your path.
