Inspiration or Food for Thought

Hello Friends,

* Anyone and everyone is encouraged to try this*

Just a little reminder to try and contact a classmate before we meet again. If any thoughts or pictures come up from last class, talk to them about it or write it down. Remember there is no judgement or right/wrong. Be good to yourselves and let the thoughts flow. If you prefer to do something else entirely, here's a little something to try and share with the group on Saturday:

I attached several images below. Some represent human connection according to Google. Others are random pictures I like.
Please choose an image that stands out to you and write in your journal or on a piece of paper for at least 5 minutes once a day between now and Saturday. Please use the same image everytime you write/talk. You may also choose an image on your own.  If you have difficulty writing use a audio recorder or talk to a fellow classmate or friend about it. If you choose to talk to a friend/classmate, make sure they know their role is to listen to your thoughts and not to influence them for the full 5 minutes. Maybe they could help you take notes/record your thoughts.

Here are some things to consider as you are writing/talking: What do you like/dislike about the image? What's the first thing you notice about the image? Does this image make you want to jump for joy or take a nap? Does the image inspire you to draw something or make a movement? If so, draw/make the movement. What does the image make you think about? Does the image make you recall a memory? If so, describe it. What emotions does it make you feel? Can you see yourself in the image? If so, describe what you are doing in the image/what role are you playing? Is there a sound, color, song, or smell that comes to your mind as you look at the image? Is there anything about the image you don't want to look at? If so, explain why?

I hope this is helpful. I look forward to hearing everyone's experiences :)
