How Do We Remember Special Times-Unit Intro.

 In this unit, we will explore the essential question: 

How do we remember special times?

We will consider two big ideas:

1. We all remember and look forward to special times.

2. Artists and designers help us remember, celebrate and look forward to special times in our lives.

Brainstorm: 

What are some special times that you remember? List these on the board
ex:
birthday parties

special sports events
visits to relatives
family vacations

How could you create a piece of art that shows a memory of a special time?
