What you need
papers
pencil ...
and your spirit of initiative!
Did you know that your house could be a labyrinth? But you could never get lost in your own home... or could you?!
Draw a map of your house on a sheet of paper.
Even though you know it very well, you'll need to change perspective
and try to imagine the rooms from above.
With your finger, enter through the entrance, walk through rooms and corridors, pass through doors, circle around the kitchen table or behind the sofa, take a quick jump into your room, and then head back to the exit.
and then?
Now try doing the same exercise
thinking about your school.
It could become an incredible labyrinth.
What do you think about trying to draw it?
Change perspective and try to imagine the spaces from above:
the entrance, the stairs, the classrooms, the corridors, and the open areas where you spend break time with your friends…
If you think about it and try
to take flight like
a bird…
You'll see that even the city or town where you live, if you look at it from above,
it really seems like a labyrinth made up of squares, streets, alleys, parks, and buildings...
(Look at the map below, it's the city of Milan. You can move from one side
to the other and zoom in on certain areas, doesn't it really look like a Labyrinth?)
Draw a small square in the center of the page, exactly where your house is, and then start
tracing the path you take to go to school, then to the supermarket, to the park, to the church... where do your friends live?
The Labyrinth in your pocket!
