Purpose
In this activity is to enable students to explore and express their emotions through the creation of unique symbols as elements. By designing six distinct elements that each represent different emotions, students will delve into the relationship between visual design and emotional expression.
Following this, they will integrate these symbols into a cohesive vertical abstract graphic poster, fostering their creativity, enhancing their design skills, and deepening their understanding of abstract art and emotional communication through visual mediums.

Instructions
- Review & Analyze the Work of Alex Calder (Class Discussion) (15 min)
- Brainstorm Drawing Rules (10 min)
Working individually, brainstorm and develop a set of rules to create a section of the collaborative art piece. Be sure to write each step of your rule set clearly, so there is little room for interpretation. - Create a grid of drawing canvases using A3 size paper as vertically
- Randomly assign a set of gestalt rules to each student.
- Each student should make a list of emotions (8) and choice 4 gestalt rules.
- Each student now completes their assigned drawing, following the rules as closely as possible.
- If time allows, repeat this process with another rule set. Compare the outcomes from each iteration.
