Spend the first 10 minutes of class on the following:
- Reflect on how the meaningful song makes you feel and write down the emotions, memories, and thoughts it elicits. Be concise and use keywords, phrases, or symbols. If you have a strong idea of what you wish to pursue for the final weaving, write about your specific idea/inspiration.
- Jot down any shapes, colors, images, or patterns that come to mind when you think about the song. Consider the mood and tone of the song and how this can be reflected visually.
