An Assignment in Abstraction.

What better time to explore yourself and your artistic ideals than when in school? College has started back up for me which has given me ample free time (which I hope to use to dive back into steemit), it has also given me plenty of work to do. As some of you may know, I'm an Art Education student. So eventually I hope that I will be able to teach others how to create things that are beautiful and explore themselves.

For the time being though I have been working on some abstract art. This piece is an exploration of how to convey subjects in a non literal way. So each of the boxes in this image is representing a word. The words range from 'Mixture', or 'Comfort' to more thought provoking and emotionally impactful words like 'Intimacy', and 'Constraints'. I really worked to do each word justice, and relate them to myself and my own life. This piece took around six hours for me, largely because the stippling effect of the dots took quite awhile, and I was using very small micron pens. The entire piece, including the white border is 10inx10in. I'm quite in love with the small details of it, so I'll share some of these here:![](

I hope you enjoyed my work! I'll do my best to post more in the future, so if you enjoyed this piece than give me a quick comment. I'd love to hear what guesses you have about what word a box might represent!
