Matrix Map & 5 Word Focus Writing Assignment

Discovering the five words that I value the most in my works has helped me focus on how I want to continue my work in this class and for my final project. Overall, the five words I was the most drawn to showed me that I want my work to be interesting because of the words, "imaginative," "energetic," and "abstract," but also unique because of the words, "imperfect," and "blurry." Also when I was writing the words on the piece of paper, I realized I was illustrating and personifying what I viewed each word as, in turn, conveying how I want my chosen words to appear in my art.
