1. What objects come to mind when you think of objects that are important to you? (Headphones, musical instrument, soccer ball, item of clothing, jewelry, skateboard, etc.)
Some objects that come to mind are my volleyball, a few of my stuffed animals that I have fond memories of, and small frogs I sewed myself.
2. Why are these objects important to you?
These objects are important to me for many reasons. For example, I have these few stuffed animals I picked out for a very long time and have lots of fond memories of them. You can see a lot of them in old photos of not only me when I was younger but also my sister and mother. The small frogs I made were a gift for someone very important to me. We've helped each other through so much and I'm really glad to have them in my life. Finally, my volleyball is important because when I started playing the sport I was still having issues with my self image. It got to the point that anytime I ate I felt terrible and therefore tried to minimize how much I did, but once I began playing the sport, not only did it take my mind off the thoughts but it got me into better shape and while it didn't fix all the issues I have it really helped me.
3. If you were to choose one specific item to represent you, what would it be?
I would choose the stuffed animals. I think I can make a really fun composition with them and get out of my comfort zone.
4. What elements of art come to mind when you think of this object? Describe the element of art in the object.
When I think of the stuffed animals I think of, lines, texture, and shape.

Inspiration Images
1. What inspires you about your first inspiration image? Be specific.
I really like how the artist not only draws the object but drew a background that goes with it. The colors make it look very peaceful and medium really fits with the style of it. In specific, I like how the people aren't defined and how the volleyball is the most detailed object. I think the idea of not outlining the trees, grass, and bushes was a great choice. Its hard to notice at first but I love that the artist chose to draw this piece onto a volleyball.
2. What inspires you about your second inspiration image? Be specific.
I love that the stuffed animals look so realistic that it could be a photo but also look a little fuzzy as if the photo they're in is old. You can see how from the image the stuffed animals are very soft and fluffy. I like that the artist made a composition that includes a bunch of animals. It gives the piece a nice homey almost nostalgic feel.
