I think this picture does a good job at depicting a piece of my life and some characteristics I obtain. Some important details the artwork shows is showing compassion and willingness to help others. My parents did not know the english language and therefore could not help my siblings or me do homework or read the notes that were sent home. Growing up I always helped my two younger siblings do homework and teach them things such as numbers, letters and more in english so they could succeed in school. I also helped my parents read and write emails to help them grow their business. This picture also portrays patience because my siblings are younger and naturally curious I often times had to answer every little question one after the other such as "Why this..." "But why does that work..."etc. This expresses the value of family and just how much my family means to me that I am willing to do countless hours of homework and business work for them aside from all my responsibilities as a student. This painting speaks to me because in it you can tell that maybe the older sibling is tired from doing their own tasks such as homework or studying for exams but is still there to help their younger sibling because they know that no one else is going to be able to help them and they don't want them to fail in school. Simple details such as the parent at the table willing to learn and listen and try to understand so they can carry on the responsibility of teaching and helping the younger children speaks to me because my mom tried for me and my siblings to learn english so she could help us do things such as homework and read notes sent home so she could better understand what we needed for school to stay on track.
