While I was hearing and reading the articles I thought about teaching symbolism in Buddha religion. I would probably collaborate with the history teacher on this but I can definitely reinforce images and symbols in my class. I found this website that, http://buddhismwoot.weebly.com/symbolism-in-buddhist-art.html, that talks about geometric symbols in art and their meaning to Buddha religion. Students can use this and create their own designs.

Air: identified as blue or black and depicted to be semi-circular.
Fire: identified as red and depicted to be triangular.
Water: identified as white and depicted to be circular.
Earth: identified as yellow and depicted to be square.
