When you're on a road trip or walking through a town, you may notice sculptures or statues alongside the road, in a park, or next to you on the sidewalk. You may notice buildings or structures that look really old or unique. It can be fun to search for landmarks like these when you travel, even on your morning route to school.
A landmark is an object or a feature of a landscape or town that has importance or makes a place easily recognizable. Landmarks will often have a sign with information explaining their importance. When you travel, pay close attention to finding new landmarks everywhere you go.
Landmarks in the United States of America
There are many famous landmarks that attract people from all over to enjoy their sights.

Maps
When we talk about spaces and places, communities, homes, happy places and towns, we can't forget to talk about maps.
Maps show us the directions to get from one place to another.
Maps give us information about a place a we want to know more about.
Maps can be a beautiful work of art.
This book will show us all the possibilities of things you could make a map about.
You can create a map of your town
Today, you may choose to create individual squares of sculpture that feature an aspect of your community. Those of you who create a sculpture may enjoy putting your neighborhood squares together to create a model of your community
Some examples are homes, schools (Festus), shops (main street), police and fire station, a church, produce stand, parks, water tower, creeks, playgrounds, restaurants and more!

Think of a time and place where you felt really happy. Did you feel calm? Cozy? Safe? Quiet? Did you know you can visit this place whenever you like?
You can if you practice engaging your senses to make this place vivid in your mind. You could even create a new daydream place to go when you feel worried or upset. What would it be?
(ex: grandpa's farm, the creek, my room, a place with only cats and bean bag chairs, a place in my imagination with my favorite things)
What did you like about it? Remember some of the details. What could you see and hear? What could you smell in this place? When you close your eyes and imagine these things, you can bring that feeling you had of calm from that place.
Create your own happy place you can hold in your heart and visit whenever you want.
Imagine it...
Create it in the drawing, collage, painting or sculpture studio
What steps or changes do they go through?
Artists create art about places they visit, live, work, and play. Sometimes artists choose to make their drawings and paintings look like a 3 dimensional space even though they are on a flat 2d surface like paper or canvas.
