The Friday was pleasant. I ate breakfast as I got out of bed and headed to the university. It was getting close to rainy and felt a little chilly. My buddies and fellow students were present in my classroom when I arrived. There were people chatting earnestly, people laughing, and people engrossed in phone calls. Belinda, our tutor, asked us to seat in groups with our various instructors as soon as everyone entered.

We got an email from our tutor two days prior to the session asking us to bring a hand-held object that holds significance for us to draw. Additionally, we were encouraged to bring any cardboard boxes that we might already have at home, including cereal boxes, so that they might be used after being flattened.

Each person's thing was unique. We all kept it on the table, and it was fascinating to observe the range of items that draw people in. We were able to create a canvas to draw on by pressing down on the cereal box. It never occurred to me that the cereal box could become a painting. And it resembled reusing things for a practical purpose. The assignment we were given had everyone in the class, including myself, giddy with anticipation.

First, we had to sketch the item we had brought in for the canvas. As everyone was occupied drawing the objects, our professor arrived with a twist: she instructed us to switch the canvas among ourselves and to keep all of the objects that we had brought together in the middle of the table.

That was where the twist started to get very interesting. It was rather unfamiliar to me to continue someone else's drawing. However, it was unique for me as a student of interior architecture. Beginning with a single item, moving on to a group of objects, attempting to sketch a table, the classroom where all of these activities are taking place, and finally concluding with the endless sky that is visible through the window.

                                                

Like our connection, the drawing continued to grow in size. My inner artist was steadily blossoming and producing unique works. The most significant aspect of our session was the final product, which was an assemblage of various things and various artworks by various artists on a canvas. This reminds me of a famous quote by "Helen Keller" - "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."
