For this project I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do so I began by thinking of way that physical disabilities affect people and what they are able to do, so I began thinking about this and started to draw an image that fit that idea, I began by drawing a wheel chair and then people running. I liked the idea of this image but I didn't do a good job showing what I wanted it to look like, the image didn't have enough going on and It just felt wrong. So I moved on, I wanted to do something with the idea of growing, so I made a small sketch of this idea, I wanted to trees to grow into the disabilities.

I began both of these by drawing them out in pencil, then I moved on to adding marker. For the second one I wanted the image to be connected in my mark making so I tired to connect everything, I worked on making the trees have different layers and then connecting them to the disabilities, I liked the idea of the trees because I felt that I could connect it to the topic, not just because I put a wheel chair and other other things in the branches but because I felt that the trees held meaning when it comes to growing, I was also inspired by the videos watched in class that focused on different artist, I was inspired by there use of color and shapes so I chose to use bright colors.

Overall I have never really been a fan of this project, this is my third time doing it and I feel like it is super hard to come up with something original, I love the idea behind it but have always struggled to come up with something that is meaningful.
