Exploring Creativity
Got the shelves painted their respective colors and tried to sand one shelf, which can only be done outdoors, but it’s way too cold. When the weather breaks…
Charlie attached the shutters with hinges so the displays are closer to finished than they were.
In the meantime, I zendoodled on a scrap piece of watercolor paper with some of my favorite pens. Now it’s off to watch the Madness. Go Wildcats!
Inspired by artist Kelsey Montague. I used some of her elements then got lost in the doodling and included some of my loves; Art, Books, Music, Birds, and Stories.
Speak of your joy. Often.
I’ve started infodoodling while listening to speakers in workshops and interviews and I may never go back to straight note taking.
Author Sunni Brown wrote “The Doodle Revolution” and in it she asks us to think of the word “doodle” as making spontaneous marks to help yourself think.
She goes on to write doodling gives us “…the prospect of greater insight, the chance for deeper creativity, and the path to better problem solving.”
When we use both hemispheres of our minds—left and right—we are awakened. We activate the fuller potential of what’s possible, she explains.
I agree.
Viva la revolución!
The black and white infodoodle is from a workshop about flash fiction with author John Gould. The more colorful one is from an interview between author Traci Skuce and Emma Dhesi about the writing journey.
This is it for art this morning. A recycled paint color swatch with a doodle, some love, and a wish, packed in my husband’s lunch.
