Abstract Image ( 07/04/2021 )
Create abstract image of our verbal story/idea. Express the memory using line and shape.
I draw a brain using line and shape with a teddy bear inside to express my emotions. The bear was deeply engraved in my mind although I was trying to forget the bear in those years. The bear outline was connected with my brain, it wasn't very clear but the memory still there.

Lecturer's Feedback :
Delete some description part. Other than that, remove mom from the story. Overall was good. Need to show the montage sequence, be more detail, contrast. Give it a little bit drama. Besides that, add some flash back and imaginative scene.
