Artist 🎨 Assignment
It’s time to get creative with our spines! Is it possible to share or explain your individual scoliosis pattern with art. Feel free to draw, paint, or write about it. Here’s a template of a back outline if you’d like to have something to get you started. Sometimes, looking at an x-ray or a photo of the back may help. You can use geometric shapes, objects from nature, words, or whatever you find most helpful.
