Post-Activities: #1 | #2 | #3

Materials:

large paper (18 x 24)

markers

straight edges

Activity: (adapted from How to Think Like Leonardo, Michael Gelb, p.176 and 7 Levels of Change, Rolf Smith, p.96)

1. Create a symbol or image to represent yourself. Place it in the center and work outward.
2. The attribute topics radiate from the center image. Labeling them using capital letters will make them more visible.
3. On lines connected to the appropriate topic use lower case letters to write the attributes that you have listed on your worksheet. Match the length of the line to the length of the word.
4. Keep the written information short and direct and as close to one or two words as possible.
5. Use colors, drawings, and other images. Highlight and use color to emphasize and connect ideas.
6. After you have roughly filled in this sheet you will collect images, make drawings, and write things that you will use to create a visual image of yourself.
