🎨 Your Challenge, Should You Choose to Accept it ...

Illuminated manuscripts are books that have images added in the margins or other areas of the book. These images enhance the text, or visually explore the meaning of the text.

In that spirit, take a word (maybe the one you used for the Just One Word exercise) and make a series of sketches. How might you alter the lettering so that the "font" feels more fitting to the word? Maybe you want to use an image that highlights what the word means or one way it can be seen.

See what you can discover about the word as you explore different ways to visualize it, and consider how you might use what you learn in a story or a poem. There's no right answer here, so just have fun!

Here's an example for the word "play."
