MAKE SMART ART

American Sign Language

Art is a universal language. It's a language that people understand around the world without words, and no matter where we all come from. Language is another way that we communicate with each other. Not all languages are spoken or verbal.

American Sign Language is a visual form of communication, like dancing and visual art. Hands are used to create shapes and motion to express an idea. 

Learning the ASL alphabet is the first step to learning American Sign Language. Try it here! Pause the video and take note of the letters in your name, or look up a chart online and see how fast you can get spelling your own name or others!

for more projects that combine language with art,
