01 / UNDERSTAND

Here is what is happening.

Artists can combine simple shapes to make pictures. A shape can stand for different things depending on what surrounds it. Your picture can tell a story without a single written word.

Pause. Make the idea your own.

Explain one idea to a partner, draw it or write it in your own words. Which part is an observation, an example or a question?

You can use a home language. No need to share personal experiences or finish everything in one sitting.
02 / MAKE IT YOUR OWN
