For my final piece, I used the communication core competency the most. This piece has a lot of significance to me as it is a painting which reflects on the memories I have as a child, at my childhood home. By using the communication core competency I presented something significant in my life through a painting; in my painting I show the swings I used to use as a child. In recent years they have become worn down and unused so this painting represents growing up and leaving your childhood behind. I also used some creative thinking as a portion of the reference picture was changed. Therefore I filled the empty space with a longer hege and yard. Next time I would like to make the significance more clear as it doesn’t show as well as I had initially wanted it. Overall I am happy with this painting and my increased water colour skill.
