Cultivated

During the critique, most agreed to work on this piece.The feedback I got on it was how I should add more to it and making it detailed. For instance, Amanda had suggested several details to add in, like coloring in the flowers and the keys of the piano, putting grass as the base the flowers to sit on, and adding music sheets to make it seem like a song is going to be played on it. The few more details I added on were the vines to make it seem like the garden was growing. For the color of the piano I wanted to keep it white to emphasis the garden to show how when making music, ideas (represented by the flowers), start blooming and soon making it into a garden. There were several times I got frustrated because the program wasn't working the way I wanted it to, but at the same time it was fun playing around with it.

This piece was comparing how making music and tending to a garden are almost alike. One man made, the other is the work of mother nature, but if you have to put in love and care into both activities, it'll blossom into something beautiful. Just like Remix Culture, putting two contrasting ideas together makes something new; adds another meaning to the two previously very different ideas.
