The idea of family traditions followed me from the last project and had me exploring traditions on my fathers side of the family. The main tradition is snowmobile racing. Sadly, I was not allowed to join in the tradition but it has been past down from my great grandfather to my grandpa to my father. Also owning a snowmobile shop and selling them for over 30 years has been apart of my family's tradition as well. The colors are representing the traditional colors of Arctic cat clothing and snowmobile colors. The silhouettes are representing the generations of my family caring on the tradition. The dots are just a few of the places my father has raced.

Ornamentation
My project dealt with one family tradition that has been pasted down from generation to generation. From my grandma to my mom to me. The pastel drawings are close ups of crocheted snowflakes that have many intricate patterns. The paper was sanded down in the first two drawings to show aging. I will be redoing this idea for the final drawing exhibit.
