Talking Points
- Rap music is a form of artistic expression that often reflects personal experiences and social issues. As you create your artwork, think about how you can convey emotions and messages through your drawings.
- Just like rappers use words to tell stories, you can use images to convey your own stories and ideas. Let your creativity flow and don't be afraid to experiment with different styles and techniques.
- Art and music have a strong connection, with many artists drawing inspiration from songs and lyrics. Pay attention to how the music makes you feel and try to translate those feelings into your artwork.
