I can get new ideas in areas in which I have an interest and build my skills to make them work. 

Throughout this course, I took my interest in the outdoors and nature and applied it to many of my projects. With my interest in these areas, I applied them to my shadowbox, micro paintings, cross-stitch, and ornament projects. I was able to take my interest and display them in various ways, showing different landscapes, and animals. I specifically was able to show my interests and transform them into an ornament by taking my experience of climbing to Elfin Lakes into consideration. This experience helped me further understand the bond I have with nature, and I will continue to incorporate my interest in nature into my work in the future
