4. Sense of Place - "You can't know who you are until you know where you are." - Wendell Berry. Draw or write about an area where you have a feeling of Sense of Place. Sense of place is understanding the environment around you, your comfort zone, where you feel most at home.





Growing up in the vacation town of Naples Florida, you quickly tired of the local areas of entertainment, and had to often find things to do on your own. I have always felt a sense of place at the beach, but only at night. There is this one spot right at the end of 5th ave. in downtown naples, and no one ever visits it. It is so relaxing just to go out there late at night and lay down to watch the stars and listen to the waves crashing on the beach. This is where I feel most at home in nature. Whenever I go to this spot, I feel completely at ease, and I often find myself here when I am in a bad mood. I understand the local environment because I have always been around coastal areas, and It just seems so natural to me.
