1. The Sonnet
2. Find an example of a one of Shakespeare’s sonnets that speaks to you for some reason.
Shakespeare's Sonnet 24:
Mine eye hath played the painter and hath steeled,
Thy beauty's form in table of my heart;
My body is the frame wherein 'tis held,
And perspective that is best painter's art.
For through the painter must you see his skill,
To find where your true image pictured lies,
Which in my bosom's shop is hanging still,
That hath his windows glazed with thine eyes.
Now see what good turns eyes for eyes have done:
Mine eyes have drawn thy shape, and thine for me
Are windows to my breast, where-through the sun
Delights to peep, to gaze therein on thee;
Yet eyes this cunning want to grace their art,
They draw but what they see, know not the heart.
3. Translate each line into recognizable language for a modern audience or group of children.
My eye has been a painter and has put,
your beautiful picture in my heart;
My body is the frame of your picture,
And the way I see you is the best picture I can make.
For in the painter you see how good he is,
To see where the real image is,
In my heart's museum where your picture always is,
Your eyes are the windows.
My eyes have drawn you, and your eyes have done the same
Your eyes are windows to my heart, and when the sun shines
On your eyes it likes to look at you;
But your beautiful eyes can never really be drawn,
Because I draw only what I can  see and not what is in your heart.
4. Then illustrate the images and compile your new illustrated translation into a digital modernization of the original sonnet.
