This video describes human nature and its tenacity along with the idea of new life after death.My artwork is illustrated with images using the environment, and people in grief along with subtle joyous moments changing the tone of the poem in a multitude of ways.My media was made using canva, granting me a surplus of free templates and images to help incorporate what my poem is about. My goal was to make a decent project in canva for the film festival and make it good enough. It is not the best work I have ever done but in my opinion it's decent. Through this I have learned that creating this artwork even if the time was short took lots of effort just to be a half bit decent, it really gives me perspective on how people make films and how hard it is. The final piece is not how I fully imagined but is satisfying enough for me not to feel regret, the other things I wanted would have simply looked out of place for my creation. The next time I create a future artwork I will definitely try to put more effort on creating longevity that is enjoyable.
