Mini Scavenger Hunt: through our memory of places that have impacted us
+ Name a place you have felt loved
+ Name somewhere you have felt heartbreak
+ Name somewhere you have gone to feel safe
+ Name somewhere you go to remember who you are
+ Name somewhere you never want to go to again
+ Name somewhere you go that makes you feel like anything is possible
Describe any details you remember about those physical locations, what each one felt like or smelled like etc. Name 1 thing you took away from some of those places and 1 thing you left behind. Example: for heartbroken, maybe innocence was left behind, and discernment is something you might take with you.
We will use these descriptions to begin building an abstracted landscape of our lived experience, translating details into forms and colors and structures that imply very visceral and personal meaning.

Brainstorm:
Exploring different kinds of maps we can use to communicate about our lived experience as well as how our lives have been embedded in certain landscapes. Developing a visual lexicon unique to each student, with the support of existing map and identity structures to imagine where that experience resides inside of us.
Day 1: Sketch ideas, explore what feels fun and interesting
Day 2: Begin drawing - implement paint or collage if it feels useful
Day 3: Final details + the black paper shapes to imply a body glued on top of our maps
