How did you use a trite concept in an original way?
My trite symbol was a peace sign. I integrated it subtlety throughout the piece if you look closely. I made this symbol untrite by using a peaceful protest to represent the same symbol of peace. I incorporated other peaceful aspects to add to the theme of peace such as the calm sky with puffy clouds, the bright colors of everyone's clothes, and the posters being held up by the protesters. I think I successfully untrited the peace sign also by making blank and calm faces as opposed to angry or yelling faces. I also think that the inclusion of multiple national flags represents that the whole world can come together and be peaceful if we all work together.

How do your composition and other artistic decisions make your art successful?
I am proud of this piece of art because I filled the entire space with something. Usually when I create some form of art, I ,leave some blank space which makes it more informal. I think that making the protestors take up most of the page means that the composition of people is important to the piece's meaning. I like that I decided to add more depth to the sky and overall piece by shading the sky darker on the top and lighter at the bottom. Depth was also successfully created by drawing the figures smaller at the back than the front without changing the scale drastically. I also think adding more focus to the main character in the front creates a focal point. I think it was successful that I added little details such as more puffiness to the clouds and hands to all the figures holding posters. Overall, the main thing I would have changed with the piece is shading darker on the clothes to people throughout; that way it would have looked less patchy.
