hexagon symbol for architectureLearn about the architectural style in which this building was made, or find artistic architecture in your town or neighborhood. Draw an original sketch of some form of architecture that was inspired by your research.     star symbol for wordsMake a poem out of nonsense sounds or try to use words themselves to shape a poem on paper. Use text as a visual element.
circle symbol for danceDance with the intention of forming different shapes with your body. Use the concepts of tense/relaxed, curved/straight, long/short, open/closed, small/large. Make sketches of how you felt and how you think your body looked when in these different positions. You can expand the activity by sketching another person with many positions on one page, so that the page records many shapes over time.
   
  triangle symbol for paintingMake a painting using nontraditional tools, such as sticks, stones, plastic, chopsticks, carpet, etc. Or make body art using different parts of the body to apply the paint or see if you can use your whole body to get into the motion of applying paint. square symbol for musicListen to Beethoven's Fifth Symphony and learn about the style of music and the time in which it was composed. Listen to the piece once and then, as you listen to it a second time, draw or paint along with the music as it inspires you.
