The flavor of creativity

This has been a difficult assignment for me. I chose to display this in a visual style, and it was hard for me to get started. I had a lot of rules going thru my head, as to how to position things, if certain other things were being represented right, if I had done what was required.

Then I really took a step back.

I realized sometimes, you just have to trust yourself, and just go with whatever is speaking to you. To not let yourself get wrapped up in the rules so much that is strangles your expressiveness and creativity. 'Cause if you do that, what really is the point of doing anything in this field? Below is my drawing. The grays represent the metallic magnet I put in my mouth (after washing it of course). The Grays represent the non-taste it had, and the smoothness of the texture of it. The rest of the colors from the field trip was Blue for cold and wet, for it started to rain at one point. The orange was for the laughter I heard all around me from my fellow students as we went around the building. The green was for the grass and others plants that I saw, as it all seems so nicely manicured around campus. Lastly, pink for the smell of flowers, and certain perfumes I could pick up from the ladies in our large group. I know you might not be able to see it well in the accompanying photo, but most of the colors overlap one another, just as my senses were doing the same.
