If you were to pick a shape you most identify with, would it be a square, circle, triangle, cross or spiral? In some future posts I will talk about what each of these shapes have stood for in various cultures. These shapes appear in all artwork over time.
At http://www.zumyn.com you can build you own mosaic of photos. I participated with Laurie Marshall of Unity Through Creativity (unitythroughcreativity.net), in a project to bring more awareness to autism through constructing a Singing Tree for Autism using zumyn software.
