Our work in class was based around the week's reading about home, places, etc. We did several excercises based on this reading, drawing on words and concepts from the text and applying them to our own sense of home. This was expressed through abstract drawings in ink and charcoal. I used charcoal to represent the three places I have called home: Champaign, Washu, and Florence. Champaign is represented with simple, repeating lines to show that life there is relatively relaxed and uncomplicated. WashU is very busy in contrast, but also very self-contained. Florence is an offshoot of my drawing of Washu, because in some ways I feel that where I am is an extension of the Washu bubble. It's easier to escape here, however, and I conveyed this by having many lines extended from my representation of "florence."
