The grey hat is significant to me as just one of many examples of the wonderful person my grandfather was. I had told him that the hat he was wearing was nice, not thinking very much of it. the next day I saw him again and he had sewn together and made one just like his for me to wear! The hat just makes me smile everytime I look at it.
While it doesn’t look like anything more than a rag, that tattered blue cloth is the remains of a blanket I’ve had since I was born. When I was little I would take it with me everywhere. Whether I was dragging it around the house or using it as my superhero cape, my blanket provided me with a sense of comfort. Despite me being much older and no longer having the blanket with me all the time, it represents nothing but fond memories for me.
the pencil Is because I like to draw in my freetime
My dog, Burger has a real talent for guilting me into giving him all my food. His face looks so sad all the time, I can’t help it!
Since I’m From Cleveland I’m a die-hard Browns fan, its miserable let me just say.

I like how all the colors meld with each other. I especially like the contrast between warm tones and cool tones. There are red and oranges in the background and the hat/blanket but the pencil, drawing and hat are all cool toned and grey. I think the contrast really sets the mood and tone of the photo as well.
I know we brought this up during class critique but I wish there was less light on the drawing of your dog because I would love to see more details of it.
Interesting how you used the two hats above the drawings of your dog to organize the arrangement. The colors work well, but I might have organized the blanket a little. Maybe folded it rather than naturally draping it. Thinking of it as a shape, a form, rather than just as a meaning. Your words let us know it is a childhood relic, the form could have been a little more organized to square off the composition or arrangement. I agree about the lighting, the glare on the drawing is a little strong, but the cast shadows are effective and remind us of the movement from 3d to 2d. Also think about your cropping, perhaps if you had pulled back a little we would be able to see more of the forms and their physical relationship to each other. (Think of the foot-print of your arrangement.)
