Self Portrait Through Objects

This graphite drawing is a self portrait, just in a different form. Rather than creating an image of my physical self, I have depicted items that are important and representative of me. There are a couple of books, as literature is greatly impactful in my life; my paint pallet, in order to illustrate my passion for art; fabric, in order to depict my loved of sewing; white roses from my graduation cap; my great grandma’s tea cup; and my button collection. Through all of these things I believe that you can get a general understanding of who I am and what I am passionate about. I worked in this piece to push my understanding of graphite to a point where I can use it to its fullest potential.
