Today was another lovely moment in the life of our class. It is so nice to watch friends become excited to share their ideas in discussion and now through other means of expression.
This afternoon we had another journaling session. In the future we will be looking closely at something we all agree on or on a topic we are trying to explain. But today we spent time drawing and sharing ideas that are meaningful to us. It is so interesting to see their take on life and to hear what is most interesting to them.
The act of journaling, and of others asking questions about your work, is helping us to take another look and to add more details that will help us better represent the ideas we are trying to get across. Friends found they didn't need to be in a hurry, but could slow down and continue to add more and more and more!
Below is an example of a first and second try. We were pointing out that the friend's arms were coming out of their head. She changed it to show the shoulders connected to the head, and said she was shrugging! (Another friend was drawing a stomach at the time, so you can see her second attempt includes this detail as she was influenced by that work) What do you notice in looking at the two tries?
Have a relaxing evening, Jennifer
