Class Calendar - September
This project was only the small part of a bigger idea. Each student in the class got one month to make an illustration to represent. The theme behind the project, was sweets, and my month was September.
Now, with the exception of Labor Day, there isn't any other holiday within the month of September. This, in a way, presented a problem, because there isn't really any foods/ sweets that are associated with Labor Day, so it left the objects shown open to interpretations. Then I looked into the reason as to WHY I chose September in the first place. September is actually mine, my older brother's, and a large number of my friend's birth month (mine being September 27th specifically). I also would remember how in school while growing up, all the kids, who's birthdays were in September, would bring cupcake to class to share in the celebration. To me, that's what this represents. It's a birthday homage, in a sense, though it does have the personal touch of having a "big brother" cupcake to a "baby sister" cupcake. A nice, personal touch, while still being friendly for everyone else to enjoy. |
