Task 1

Look at the empty figures in the illustration. You are in the center. Who are the people closest to you in the surrounding circle?

  • Take a blank sheet of paper and draw yourself in the middle.
    • Now draw those people with whom you are closely connected next to you.
    • Draw those people who are not that close to you a little further away.
    • Write down their names and their relation to you (father, mother, uncle, aunt, friend, supporter...).
    • You may draw them in  color and add specific features if you like.
  • Take a photo of your finished drawing.
