The longer we live, the more history we collect in our bodies as we move through the world. Landmarks like the scar from falling off the monkey bars, a crooked toe, or rockin’ thigh muscles from years of biking, we have archived a myriad of experiences. Today, your challenge is to make a life-size representation (or smaller) of your body using colors, pictures, symbols and words to represent landmarks, memories, and experiences.
Inspirations: above is a collaborative body map mural made by Weaton students, below is one by Nomawethu Ngalimani a recipiant of a heart transplant, and below that is a work titled “My Trophies” by Annette Messager. The last of the images is a human body hair flow map. It is only half on topic here, but it was too fabulous to not include.

People who post to Instagram or on Facebook will be eligible to win prizes (see details). No matter where you post, tag us so we can find it #seattleartistleague #salchallenge.
