Each lesson can stand alone or be used in conjunction with the others. We all need to belong somewhere. Most people have a place where they eat and sleep and spend time with their families. This home place is located somewhere, on a plain or mountain, in a forest or desert, by a lake or river, or even on an ocean. Many people live in apartments or houses in neighborhoods within towns or cities, while others live away from cities in the countryside.
Most homes stay in one spot, but some move with their residents as they travel from place to place.
Each of us needs more than a physical place to shelter us from the weather. We also need a place among people. We each have our place in our family, among our friends, in the community, and within a culture. Throughout our lives we can change our place among people, just as we can move from one physical place to another. Artworks can express a sense of belonging by showing how people have found their place both in the physical world and within groups of people.
