The work represents the conference's themes of creativity, knowledge, inspiration, and scholarship because the dandelion seeds blowing away in the wind represent the students at Fitchburg State, and how we are taking our knowledge gained at school with us as we venture out into the world ready to start our own paths in life. I chose to represent the image on a piece of spiral notepad paper, because I wanted the image to conjure up thoughts of a doodle in a notebook, something that I myself, and many other students often partake in to express ourselves creatively, and open our minds, while participating in the academic process. Art, creativity, learning, and scholarship should all go hand in hand.
