Conceptualise Topic: (What did we learn; what is the essential idea?)
Through the artwork If I Roar I have learnt about the transformation of a big change being made by a figure of power and then how it can turn a peaceful community
into a chaotic one.
Appreciate Topic: (How is this topic important for life; why should we learn about it?)
I think that it is important to learn about transformations because it can help prepare us for when we go through transformations of our own.
