While brainstorming for this project, i thought about what would best represent me. So i first looked into things that i enjoy doing, things that i like and personal traits. I came up with a list of possible professions and characteristics that i could use and chose four to develop further. The four i have chosen are:
- Traveller
Definition: A person who travels or has travelled in distant places or foreign lands.
When i think of travel, i think maps. It is a must have on a travel, especially in a place you have never been to before. I have always been fascinated with the amount of information that a map can contain. It is like a travel companion, guiding you through your journey.
Associated words: travel, tour, trip, map, souvenir, bag pack, explore, voyage, pictures, destinations
- Guitarist
Definition: A person who plays the guitar.
Guitar is something i picked up when i was in primary 6. A skill i never got the time to improve on, but still something i really enjoy doing.
Associated words: music, strings, wood, tune, strum, pluck, pick, notes, chords, tabs, classical, acoustic, song
- Tart Baker / Pâtissièr
Definition: A person who is skilled in making pastries (in this case, tarts)
Tarts are one of my favourite desserts. The base is made of a crispy crust, then filled with custard and topped with a variety of fruits. This tempting dessert, how could anyone resist?
Associated words: dessert, sweet, fruits, crust, pastry, YUM
- Carefree
Definition: without anxiety or worry
I would say that being carefree is my biggest strength and my biggest weakness. My family often tell me that i don’t have any stress at all, because i could still be watching a movie a day before an exam. But because of my laid-back personality, i often do things last minute.
Associated words: freedom, lighthearted, gleeful, flight, wings, butterflies, clouds
Since we were to come up with ‘portraits’, i thought the best approach to this was to be personal so that my final pieces would be able to reflect the kind of a person i am. I also decided to use my nickname ‘Bella‘, which is how many of my friends address me, for the pieces. (because Isabella is too long)
Other professions and traits that i considered:
- Polyglot (a person who speaks multiple languages)
- Farmer/Florist
- Tech-savvy
- Naive
- Light sleeper
- Scientist
