What a fantastic class! The teaching structure is great, this is one of the better classes on skill share, because the process is so clearly articulated. I genuinely appreciated taking this class, and I have many struggles that I thought were unique to me. I think there's always the stereotype of someone getting a great picture in one go, without any mistakes. It really helps to acknowledge that as a part of the process, rather than just pinning it all on one's shortcomings. 

 

Anyway, I decided to illustrate an article about how Harvard admissions are skewed, for those with: connections (to alumni, the dean, etc); "deep pockets", who contribute a great deal to the institution in donations; legacy; etc.   43% of white students weren’t admitted on merit, and I don't think this is actually news to anyone, but it was one of the articles that popped up when I started this project.

 

I ended up choosing the first sketch. The sketches are below:

 

1 - People covertly enter a building from a deep pocket

2 - People biplane a building that looks like a pencil, while a bystander studies a book

3 - a helicopter offers easy access to a building on top of a mountain, while others must hike

4 - a student carries loads of books, emerging from a deep pocket to pass through a gate

5 - a student tries to open a door, which won’t open
