In class, we explored the relationship between words and gestures. This exercise was very useful for me, even though most of my work tends to be representaional. Although I did not really get the full gist of the draings immediately, I definately understood by the final charcoal drawing. This drawing helped me to consider my actual definition of home, versus where I live. It also helped me explore my thoughts on home in the future. Much of it had to do with the concept of having a connection with the place and the people or the environment- a feeling. Home is were you feel comfortable and like you belong, the characteristics of having an established community. However, there is something physical about home, as well. It is a place that you can return to, no matter what.
