ASSIGNMENT

Have a collection? Eager to start? Your assignment is to pull out a favorite group of objects and illustrate them to tell a story. Consider favorite t-shirts, foods you eat everyday, places you've been, or even items in your medicine cabinet. Choose simple objects that say something about you when grouped together.

If you're feeling stuck, a great starting point is your own wallet! Open up your bag or purse, and consider those everyday items you collect and consume. Which ones tell the story of you?

I'd encourage you to explore this project as many times as you'd like. Simple objects tell interesting stories about the people who own them. There are no limits. Enjoy!
