Shakespeare Inspired Creative Art Projects

In my high school. Grade 10-12 students get a Shakespeare unit (I still remember studying Hamlet and Macbeth in high school) where they have to complete a creative project at the end of the unit to show their understanding. It can be in any creative medium (film, music, etc), and many students choose visual art. The finished work is put on display on tables and all the classes walk around viewing the work.

The Shakespeare work studied this time was Hamlet (1599), Twelfth Night (1601), and

As You Like It (1600).
