Abstract
My rendering reflects a moment of stillness found along a familiar coastal path I have walked many times. The piece was created outdoors, in between readings and course assignments.
For me, the landscape is more than a subject, it is a learning space. As an online learner, I often do my academic work outdoors, which becomes my classroom. In these moments, the boundaries between study, place, and art begin to dissolve, and drawing becomes a way for me to process ideas and deepen my learning.
