During this project, especially when painting the compositional pieces, I realised how important it is to have a meaning or purpose behind your work. In previous projects I always find it difficult with a theme as I wanted to just focus on the techniques being used and not the meaning. When I was given the opportunity to have my theme for M.J 1, I immediately chose to focus on a group of techniques and not a topic of interest. At the start of the project I enjoyed just exploring the techniques, but when I went to paint the compositional pieces, I found myself struggling to paint, as there was no meaning behind the brushstrokes or reasons why the compositions are the way they are. This made me realise how important it is to have a meaning or topic behind your work, and how context for art is so important when looking at any art.
