"Best" Sketchbook Page MP2
I choose to highlight this page because I really like its simplicity. I like that is can have many different meanings because of its simplicity. I chose to use stictly watercolors to create this image. Other than the streetlight that is drawn from a sharpie to add definate lines against the yellow watercolor. This page, to me, is about feeling alone in a large space. This page has a lot of blank space, and one central focus point, which, to me, symbolizes being in a large crowd of people and feeling alone, or not being noticed. This page stands out above my other pages from the current nine weeks because it shares a totally different message. A lot of my other pages have lots of warm tones and happy messages, to where this one is a little bit sadder, and real.
I would have that other people would say that this page conveys a sad mood. And that they would notice how much blank space there is to really signify the symbolism of the size. If I were to change anything about this page, or improve it, I would probably use a different material that would better blend the yellow from the light, with the black darkness so it doesn't look as messy.

"Best" Sketchbook Page MP1
I chose to highlight this page because I liked how it had more detail and meaning than any other of my sketchbook pages. I used a regular #2 pencil to sketch this and the moon is painted red with watercolors. This page is about someone who envies life in the city. They want to go to a big city so bad. This page, to me, just had the most detail and showed how hard I worked on it. It was the only one with real meaning behind it. I didn't use as much watercolor on this page as I normally do, and I really like the outcome. I think that others would like this page, and I think the meaning behind it is clear to others.
