| The art piece I submitted |
The nature of this competition really allowed myself to tap into my own creativity. At this point of time, I had just about Started the IB program and at that point I felt the pressure and stress already coming into play so I tried to find sort of an inner-peace within myself and portray that into paper. Looking at previous winning artworks really inspired me to do my best and if I was lucky enough I could move on to the next round. As time past, I started to get anxious on whether I made it through to the next round constantly badgering Mrs. Burden on the status of my artwork. At times, I had doubt the if had made mine to simplistic or my observation upon detail were minimal but I always believed in my ability as an artist. The time came to admit that I had not made it to the second round, however, I was so pleased with my work I took it home with where I could store my other artworks I can be proud off. The experience really taught me how to be more resilient, more optimistic but realistic at the same time, control my taught and channeling them into positivity. Through this competition I gained an extremely valuable tool I would essentially need for the next coming 2 year of IB, the ability to handle frustration at boiling point.
