Assignment 1

    This is my final version of this...I would have had an "in progress" version but I was so undecided for the overall piece and had changed my mind many times. I started about three or more ideas but settled with this one that I'm pretty happy with. Its funny because before I knew it I was done and didn't even stop to get that "in progress" snapshot. I do apologize for that!
   Like I stated before I started off with many ideas and I feel as though it evolved into what you see above. I thought to myself...what are things that are important to me...things that have shaped or influenced my life? My children/family...art/materials/books...many other things are in there but have more hidden meanings behind them. With black and pink being my favorite colors I threw them into this piece. Making my background black was not just because its my favorite color, I think it also helps to bring your focus to what's going on. I was hoping to go with a more motivational "let things fall where they may" piece...and you can only go up from where you are. That idea shows that I am trying to improve where I am now.
