Create a page or a series of pages to depict things that you are thankful for.

You can be serious about it or use your sense of humor.

Use one page/board per "thing" or one page/board for all "things", or many boards/pages for one "thing". You decide.

Use any art media or mixed media. Choose from: pencil, color pencils, pen, pen and ink, markers, watercolors or acrylics, collage, etc...

Use typography as a part of the design. Use quotes, sayings, your personal thoughts, etc. Use appropriate colors for the text, direction of the text in the overall page layout.

You can color the background of the page first if you wish to...

What is typography?
