A Gesture

After class on Wednesday I thought about what a gesture was, I thought about for the next few until I felt like I had a definition that I felt suited my needs. I decided that a gesture was an action with a deeper underline meaning usually intentional but just like everything it could be unintentional.
I now had my definitions but what was the next step? what should my gesture be? My first thought was to do something concerning my fidgeting. Things I do when I'm listening like biting my nails, lips, putting my hair behind my ear things like that.

Then as I was thinking of this on Saturday it began to snow and it snowed through the night. The snow was deep an firmly packed perfect for my next thought. I decided to lay in the snow and just focus on the moment and the snow surrounding on me. I wrote in my journal about the experience my feelings and any words that came to mind. I also took pictures of the snow imprints and tried to interpret them as an outside source, that may have stumbled on them while walking. I composed these thoughts from my journal in to a word art.

I decided to do a word art based on how well a word art I previously did on watching the moon rise.
In doing a word art my journal entities are able to take shape and movement while still remaining private. The colors and overall shape of the word art are also gestures to communicate the over all feeling of the moment and the feeling while in the midst of preforming a gesture.
