Curricular Response:

This project shows both my strengths in creativity but weaknesses in drawing. I consider this to be one of the better drawings I’ve done, especially when considering the message and explanation behind the drawing. This drawing depicts an indigenous person, dressed in traditional Metis clothing, equipped with a two spirit badge and traditional beadwork. This person is locked behind the bars that keep them at a societal disadvantage, which are cracking as we move closer and closer towards reconciliation and restitution.
However, this drawings weaknesses come in the form of lack of color and proper proportion. While I believe the red clothing stands out as the most vibrant portion of the drawing, the frame of the drawing could’ve been greatly improved with the colors, same goes for the flags on the cell bars.

Core Competency Reflection

What will be one or two of your top priorities in the coming weeks for these last few assignments we will be doing in EFP 11? Think not only about the finished product of your work, but also about the process you will use or change when you approach these assignments.

My priorities for the last few assignments will be to apply my knowledge and understanding to the assignments, and to keep an open mind when filling them out. I tend to let my own opinions get in the way of my work, which can lead to a lack of comprehension. I will continue to work on this issue, and further understand the concepts we learn in EFP 11.
