You can use this book as a dream journal, scrapbook, poetry book, personal diary, sketch book, or lesson planner! The limit is your own imagination!
All materials will be included but please feel free to bring your own personal embellishments, clippings, or favorite art mediums to personalize your creation. Base paper stock size 9×12.

Consensus.org curriculum
Consensus is an artistic game of “Telephone” that provides participants the option to respond to a work of art using any arts medium to help better understand the work around us. This collaborative project was developed by Sally Taylor.
Inspired by Sally Taylor’s global creative initiative—The Consenses Curriculum is a beautifully crafted, unique, multidisciplinary approach to building social-emotional skills through the arts. Participants engage in a structured collaborative process of creating “Interpretive Chains,” using a range of media to engage all five senses as they build understanding and appreciation for the value of diverse perspectives and the equality of all voices.
