The one minute drawings were probably my favorite activities, as I was forced to just dive right in and create these drawings without judgment. I usually am my own worst critic and will sit and plan a drawing for forever before getting started, but by the time we had drawn so many of these, I was really enjoying it and think it would be fun to carry this exercise into every day life. I would love to sit in a park and sketch like this, though the gestures will not be quite so amusing!
Collage is always a fun activity and I love to work in color pencil and was luckily able to in a short time since the drawings were fairly small. It's rather therapeutic for me.
I actually really enjoyed the first part of the doughnut drawings when we had to draw with our left hand. Again, it made me free my mind of judgment on my drawing. I focused on the object and line and form rather than making it perfect.
The blindfold drawing was such a fun activity and a great ice breaker to the week. Not only did being blindfolded make me more aware of my other senses and think about the relationship between my pencil and sketchbook, but describing the scene made me focus on the details and visual elements in a scene. It was especially fun after being blindfolded and comparing the scene I drew to what was now in front of me.
