A. How Is your item a form of art for you?

-Leaves hold symbolism in many cultures, but in general, they symbolize fertility and growth. The
green leaves of spring and summer depict hope, renewal and revival. Blazing yellow, orange and
red leaves of fall represent the change of season.

B. What form of art is the item that you have chosen? (Functional or non functional). How so?
-Infused with inspiration, the commonplace becomes extraordinary. The humble leaf, for
example – from the simple shapes of some to the complex web of veins in others – has
captivated artists, including jewelry designers, for centuries. The simple leaf has transformed
into enduring beauty throughout the periods of jewelry history.

C. Describe, Analyze, Interpret, Judgment

-A green leaf, then, stands for growth and development, both of the self and of the community.
The leaf reminds us that we live in a give-and-take relationship with our environment, and as we
nurture ourselves, we should also care for our community.
