In my teaching and therapeutic work, people often express surprise and awe at the personal insights that emerge during periods of extended, spontaneous self-expression.
Build Your Creative Muscle - A Self-Directed Challenge
Dedicating 10-20 minutes each day to expressive drawing will give you enough time to rediscover your spontaneity and begin to discover your authentic drawing style. Try intuitive drawings, inner child drawing, or mandalas.
30 day self-directed expressive art challenges offer you a chance to try a modality of expressive drawing in a self-directed way. This is not an e-course. It is simply a challenge to show up in your sketchbook and create an expressive drawing every day for 30 days.
The Challenge
1. Number your sketchbook pages from 1-30.
2. Each day, for 30 days create a spontaneous drawing.
3. Make notes of any insights that arise.
4. When you are finished, you are welcome but not required to write me (at shelley@expressiveartworkshops.com) with a few photos and a description of your process. You are invited to share your process (anonymously if preferred) on my website as an inspiration for others.
All three challenges are self-directed - they require your inner commitment to show up on the page every day with a few drawing materials. Buy yourself a sketchbook that you will dedicate to your chosen creative commitment, and pick a modality to explore for 30 days.
My hope for you is that after your 30-day creative commitment, you carry on to fill an entire book with expressive drawings.
What will shift and change within you after 30 days of intuitive drawing? Who will you be? What will you find out about yourself?
