Thursday, September 9th in Art I

1. Symbolic Time lines... Take a sheet of paper and fold it in 1/2 so the fold divides the right and left sides of your paper.
2. On the right side of your paper, number from 1/10 and write down the 10 most important events that have happened in your life so far. Please keep them in chronological order. This is for your information only, I won't read them, so be honest.
3. On the left side of the paper, number from 1/10 and draw a symbol for each of your life's events. These symbols should not be recognizable. No hearts, crosses, angel wings, or rainbows please. UNLESS, you can make them abstracted by zooming in closer, etc. When you're done with both sides of your paper, tear away the written events and take them home. Keep your drawn symbols in the drawer with your name on them.
