Topic Brainstorming
Indra
I have never heard of Indra, but what drew me to him was the fact that he is the god of the heavens, lightning, thunder, rain, etc. I want to learn more about his battle with Vritra. I was thinking I could either do a storybook about his battle with Vritra or I wanted to try some kind of weather forecasting element with his story. I could have a reporter observing his emotions/behavior and relate it to the weather forecast.

Surya
One of the first things that caught my attention was that Surya's chariot was lead by 7 horses that represent the 7 colors of the rainbow. Something about that is really cool to me! Surya has a son named Karna. I was thinking maybe I could write about Surya's life with Kunti that lead up the birth of Karna. I need to do more research about Surya before I can decide on how I want to retell his story.

Vishvamitra
I want to tell a story about Vishvamitra's journey of becoming a sage, but I'm unsure of how I want to tell it/change the story. Maybe, instead of beginning as a king, he could start from nothing. I think that may even more impressive than his actual journey. Or maybe I could focus on his life after he became a sage. I could make one of the most popular sages in his country and I could have a storybook filled with the people that come to visit him.

Divine Iconography
I think that the images that accompany all these stories are so beautiful and intricate. I know that there's so much about the images that I don't understand so I think it would be interesting to learn how to really grasp what the pictures are trying to say. I had the idea of making an actual storybook for this topic. Like, I want a mother to have a old storybook filled with divine iconography and I want her to explain different stories to her daughter/son.
