Materials
- Indigo Reports
- Art Materials
Instructions:
Provide the students with any art materials on hand. Some examples are posters and markers, canvases and paint, modeling clay, magazines and scissors (for those who don’t like to draw) or simply a pen and paper. Have the students create a piece of art that represents themselves. The students are free to get as creative as they want. There are only two rules: the art has to be all about themselves, and it has to all be positive.
Tip: Motivators from the Indigo Report are a good place to start to inspire students to think of images that represent what drives them.
