Magic Pencil

Magic Pencil

If you could have a super power, what would it be? I would want to have a magic pencil; it would make everything I draw come to life. In reality, the magic pencil does exist inside me; and for this project magic pencil represents my talent, creativity, diligence and skills. Like the rocket, the burning fuel of this project is my passion. I use the magic pencil to send message, bring up social awareness, and contribute to the world. The magic of this pencil is the changes that can be created through art

As you can see in this project, I have very experimented with materials and listed below are reasons why I used the following materials.

• Autumn leaves: Like the leaves give nutrition to tree, I give my passion to art. The colors of the autumn leaf look like flame and passion is hot like flames.
• Colorful Rice: Beside the fact that I eat rice every day, the colorful rice in this project represents different race and diversity. Ever since I came to the USA, the diversity and different races I encounter change the way I think and my perception of the world. This influences me and my artwork.
• Map: Besides the fact that I take the train every day. Maps in this project represent my desire of spreading positive ideas, bring awareness and make social changes in the world I live in.
• Penny Shoes: A thousand mile journey is made out of single steps. One penny might not be worth anything but a lot of them could be a great deal. The message behind it is every one has the power to make change, don’t neglect your power remember every penny counts.
• Loose Leaf: Everyone has the experience to record thing, such as notes, feeling, experience, thought, memories, it’s part of the learning, growing process. Change could be the result of this process.
