Project 6: Simplification Through Symbolism



In this assignment, we had to gather 10 quotes of any kind (relatives, artists, friends, etc.) and list them. Then from those 10, we narrowed it down to three by vote, then create a symbol representing the quotes. I came up with a George Burns, my Mother, and Frida Kahlo quotes and illustrated as simple as I could. I'm not all that confident that the symbols reflect greatly with each quote, but in hopes that the message is still there. 
The first quote was "Don't stay in bed, unless you can make money in bed" and so I drew out a person laying down on top of a money bag, as it was their bed.
The second quote was "You look much prettier being quiet" and I did a pretty girl with a bandana covering her mouth, to show that she can't speak. 
The third quote was "Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly", and I drew out simple wings using almost negative space to form a foot.
