Peanut Project-Sean H

It was neat to see the differences between my peanut drawings. The idea of what my peanut looked like did not do justice to the characteristics that made the peanut truly unique. When you are looking closely at an object like that, certain things jump out at you and stick in your mind so you would be able to pick your peanut out of a line up. Giving the peanut a name and a story, while using its characteristics to do so, really made the peanut personable. I started looking at it as something with value, not just a peanut I want to pop in my mouth at a bar. Well at least for a little bit because I just ate him. But it shows you can add meaning to something no matter how insignificant it really is. I even find myself talking about him as if the peanut is a human being. Another thing about the project that I found interesting is what you visualize an object looking like and the way it actually looks.
