I am passionate, active, and complex.

I am passionate about my activities which include mountain biking, snowboarding, sailing and reading. I am complex because I have dual parts to my complex personality, as you can see by the flags representing my ancestry (British and German), my soft and tough sides, and my quiet and active sides. I love the thrill of mountain biking and snowboarding at the same time I love reading, and playing with dogs. I also love the outdoors, especially sailing across the ocean during summers and zooming through forests during winters while relaxing indoors and reading all year.
I used the bold colors of the flags for the background of my work of art while it shows my family's background. I also intentionally put objects beyond the edges of the paper to show my risk taking side where I go beyond limits.

Reflecting on self-protrait progress.

We explained and discussed our portraits in class, all of us did not finish our projects, so we shared our plans for it. We liked eachother's projects and gave eachother some feedbacks, they told me to finish it and maybe expand the drawing, and add more snow to the picture. I needed to do that and finish it by adding my picture, and the drawing of a sailboat as well the drawing of books and dogs. I estimate that I would need at least three more classes to complete my project.
