Simple to Complex

White is the color of the board. Fake leaves are located at the top of the board. It is lined in metal.

The board which lies in front of the classroom is portrayed as white, but there is a tint of blue where the stains of the blue ink have been erased. The board is accented with orange, yellow, and red flake leaves which twist along the top.

Through the board’s gleaming cream surface, stains of the blue ink have left traces of hard work and knowledge from classes which have come before our class. The vibrant fake leaves which are found on the top of the board signify the fall weather which has taken hold of us. Its expression is blank as we look upon is with longing eyes hungry for knowledge. The board holds many signatures of students who have placed their knowledge upon the board or taken knowledge from it. Yet, it is not the board who gives the knowledge, but the knowledge that is given on the board.

The musty board which lies in front of the students depicts the story of the classes that have come before us. The board was once held knowledge which was written along its creamy surface. The stains of knowledge have been left within the tiny particles of blue ink left in crevices of the board. This board once held imagination and creativity, but now it has grown blank with the help of the eraser which is stooped on its cold, metal rack. As a class, we stare at the board, as the board stares back at us with an empty expression. Light gleams upon its surface and is reflected unto the students who yearn to learn from the writings which were once placed on the board. The knowledge-hungry students’ desire for the board to tell them more, but it stares back blankly.
