These objects represent words. When I write an email in Spanish, I often search for these words on Google to borrow their accent marks: cántaro, mérito, película, corazón, acústico (jug, merit, movie, heart, acoustic)

Lightscape North East

Part 1
Imagine looking N.E. at dawn in a local landscape. Draw what you see. Pay special attention to the quality of the light in the sky and how it makes you feel. On the back of your drawing, write about your experience of this lightscape. Post your drawing and flip the work of someone else to expose the text or drawing.

Part 2
In the next few days, repeat this exercise at dawn again, but this time go to the actual place you chose in Part 1, and capture the image as a photograph or another drawing. Again, write about your experience. Post your image and flip the work of someone else to expose the text or drawing.

13. Mara Siegel
Play Pretend
Identity is not static. Different scenarios in our everyday lives give us the opportunity to experience different versions of ourselves. Take a card, read the cue, and act it out. Once you are done, post your card on the wall.
