Criterion C: Taking action
My goal in this project, was learning how to compose a song and combine creativity, to result in an original piece of music that shares my personal beliefs, values, and emotions that others will also be able to connect. To bring this goal to life, I went into a further theory to understand its relation to the global context chosen.
