<p>Do y’all think that sign language would be considered a form of art? I want to use it, but dont want to vary too much from the prompt. Thoughts and suggestions?</p>
<p>Note that the question does NOT ask what has “inspired” you. The actual question is:</p>
<p>"What work of art, music, science, mathematics, or literature has surprised, unsettled, or challenged you, and in what way? "</p>
<p>The implication here being you are asked to write about some “work” that changed your mind or challenged your beliefs in a profound way. The question is looking for how you process and deal with information from a different or unexpected perspective. Are you open to new views, debate, and information that challenges your beliefs? It is not looking for a story of personal inspiration - unless of course that was borne out of your being surprised or challenged by a work of art. I would find it difficult to focus on sign language in and of itself. Maybe through the act of signing and interpreting a piece of art, or watching a piece of art, or reading of a scientific work, through signing, you may be able to find a link. Good luck.</p>
