My Reflection

In the Kete Celebrating Cultures, I created a static image digitally about my Filipino culture. 

I first drew my draft on paper and then drew it digitally after.

I got the idea of putting the buffalo and the eagle because they are the national animals of the Philippines. Then I got the idea to put baybayin because it was the old letters used when the Spanish haven't colonized the Philippines. I got the idea to put the sun rays on her head from an image I saw online. I stuck with the colour pallet of the Philippines flag and the design of her clothes like the stars which represent the 3 major islands of the Philippines. I got the idea of the pearls on her hair, neck and hands from the quote "Perlas ng Silanganan" or "Pearl of the East". The quote is from the Philippine national anthem. 

I worked well. Although there were a lot of things I wasn't satisfied with, I am pretty satisfied with it.
