The first crisp white pages of a new sketchbook.
Our first assignment of the new semester was to create a two page spread of five objects. These five objects were to have personal meaning. As my pen began to paint black ink upon the first white pages, my personal objects came to life. Each object holds personal meaning as it was either given to me or is an everyday ritual object. The straight concrete lines of my drawing pen and envelope fade into the loose sketch marks of both the rose and two necklaces. Along with the presentation of five personal objects, the use of text and color are visible. Similar to the fading of stiff to loose pen sketches, color is apparent as it strikes the center of the page and fades out. The use of text allows each object to develop more of a personal touch, as I only know the significance of each phase. As the countless sketch marks forms a single drawing, each object comes to life.
