This drawing was done on Stonehenge paper using vine charcoal and darker charcoal as well.  For this drawing I had to wear a blindfold and write a phrase that resonated with me.  The phrase was “You can plan a pretty picnic, but you can’t predict the weather” taken from the song “Ms. Jackson” by Outkast.  After writing the phrase multiple times, I had to draw shapes and symbols that I thought fit with the phrase.  After a while, I was able to take the blindfold off and continue drawing and see what I can make from my blind drawings.  I ended up making somewhat of an alarm clock with a fan inside.  You can make your own interpretations to the drawing if you like.

This drawing was similar in set-up, with me being blindfolded again.  However, I was to draw or “re-create” a story that my art professor told.  The idea was to bring whatever she said to life like it was a magic charcoal.  We used different types of charcoal along the way.  This is the aftermath of it. 

This drawing is after I took the blindfold off and drew whatever I felt needed to be added.  I decided to make it into a movie poster or novel cover for the story she told.  All the main plot points are in the drawing, with circles that I feel represent bubbles as if it were a dream.
