These are for everyone.

Allowing evolution.
Create something / anything and then revisit at a later date and create some more.
Why have a time limit ?
What feels right to create today ?
… and what about now ?

2. Using the same object, make 5 separate drawings in 5 minutes (1 minute each drawing)
3. Same object, make 10 drawings in 5 minutes (30 seconds per drawing)
4. Make 2 quick line drawings of the object (eyes don’t look at paper, pen doesn’t leave surface)
5. Draw subject from memory. No looking.

7 SHAPES
individual interpretation
vs.
collective similarities
1. send a small sheet of paper with hand-painted shapes to a variety of friends and family
2. ask them to paint, draw, collage, anything that the shapes allow them to see
3. send back
4. observe the similarities and differences
genesis: painted various shapes onto a piece of paper + later came back to the pieces and started freely drawing what the shapes seemed to look like to me... what would others see if given these same shapes?
