The purpose of this assignment is to encourage students to really study different subjects and challenge them to represent the same subjects in different ways. In your last contact sheet, you inadvertently made an interesting series. You transformed a simple tool into a morris code-like form. Obviously, this reading only applies when the images are printed small and are viewed as a series. Nevertheless, this transformation is simple, unexpected, and beautiful. However, you still need to push yourself harder. How can you reinterpret these common forms? Can you place these objects in different contexts? Can you get closer, can you get further away? Consider the frame edge. Consider different lighting techniques. Take more risks and spend more time with your subject. The harder you work, the more successful you will be at establishing your own photographic style and vision.
