Part 1: Create an artwork

You will need:

• chalk

(option 1 below)

or

• string, wool, balls or counters 

(option 2 below).

You can choose which way you would like to create your artwork. 

Part 2: create movements

Look at your map and decide on some movements you could use to represent your line, dot and dash map.

Combine these movements to create a short sequence.
