started, you do not have to use these,
just some ideas to help get the
creativity flowing:
1) Think about an obstacle you
overcame, a time you were up against
a challenge. What was the problem
and how did you solve it?
If you were to describe what you felt in
a line or a shape (organic or geometric)
what would it look like?
2) What if you were told you couldn’t do
something purely based upon the
shape of your finger nails? How would
that make you feel? What colors or
lines might you use to describe these
feelings?
3) Write from the perspective of a
family member if they were talking
about you or asked to describe you.
Write your brief diary entry or narrative
on a scrap piece of paper that you will
glue into your sketchbook. After writing
it make a list of all the descriptive
