Design your own robe on a grand scale. Decorate your robe with symbols that represent important people, objects, animals and interests in your life. Determine which symbols are most important by varying the size and colour. Arrange these in patterns on the front and back of your robe. Imagine you are the ruler, the emperor or empress. How would you treat your people, what rules would you impose?
How is an object such as the Svayambhu linga used? Find an image or video clip of a puja or Hindu worship for a linga. How does seeing the puja change your view of the linga? What is the role of ritual in belief and worship? What rituals do you observe in your own life? What function do they serve?
Using digital media make an artwork that shows an aspect of your outer life, the places you spend time, and the things you often see. Now make an artwork that reveals something of your own inner life, your emotions, thoughts and dreams. How do they differ?
