"Understand ideas and human values in art." This is my goal for my fourth additon to this page, and no better character can be used to describe this goal than Soren of the Fire Emblem series.
Soren, throughout the game, started off as a secret, dark, and rather emotionless character. He would never open up to anyone, but he would always think up the right idea at the right moment. However, as you progress through the game, you find out more and more about this strange man and discover how he became the person he is today.
His life was tragic, touching, and amazing to listen to, which is why Soren became my favorite character in this game. Soren was different from others, but he still had the same emotions as everyone, and all he needed was someone who cared.

"Be able to recognize and understand symbolism and its meaning in art." This is the goal that I have tried to create my the medium of drawing.
This tree, or rather, pair of trees showcase the ever changing seasons one finds in a year. In Summer, you see trees that are covered in healthy leaves, which are full of life. The warm, fresh air is perfect for this tree. This represents all joy, hope, and dreams in the lives of human beings.
However, on the opposite side, you find a tree that has been subjected to the harshness of winter, and the cold, merciless snow and ice, hinder the life of this tree. This represents the sorrows, the neglect and the worst times in the lives of human beings.
This picture was drawn to show, that life is a life that is full of change, be it wonderful, or terrible.
