To De-Construct is To Create Too!
and here's my piece of scrap paper, torn to a square, folded, and punched with a large needle repeatedly to create a geometric pattern of triangles (which harkens back to my chosen universal shape from week 1, done unconsciously of course!).
Hopefully you'll get to see others' results of de-construction soon...
and here's the triangle shape I had selected and expressed in 20 minutes during our first meeting. hmmm

20 Expressions in 20 Minutes
Just to get things going, the task was to draw each of the 5 universal symbols: a square, a circle, a triangle, a cross, and a spiral, and then chose the one you liked best at this particular moment. This symbol would be your creative focus for the next 20 minutes or so while you gave it expression in whatever why you could think of. Here’s our results:
LL created way more than 20 images of the cross symbol, plus bonus points for arranging them all in that shape!
EKO selected a spiral to explore out of the 5 universal shapes, and found some, drew others, and created more.
SJD also worked with the spiral and came up with even more renditions of the symbol.
PC was drawn to the spiral symbol and brought forth some unique images of it as displayed here.
And yes, pao had chosen the spiral for her creative expression as well, and here’s her offering of spiraliousness!
