What things are hidden in your heart? What things lie deep inside? What are the things you love? Who are the people you love? What do you love doing? The book, Awakening the Heart
, by Georgia Heard, has a cover illustration of a heart map (shown at left). There is even a secret room in this heart, for the secrets that are locked away there.
I asked my students to make heart maps. Some of them drew in the ventricles and surrounded the heart with lines to represent the ribs, placing their beloved ideas afloat within the body. Other made layers that revealed the things deeper and deeper in that person’s heart.
Every heart map was beautiful and unique. Many were turned into Valentine’s Day cards. |
