This week on the Personal Symbols course we had to draw symbols signifying various words, and also to go outside and draw symbols representing what we saw. I want to post these for the forum attached to the class so I thought I'd do it here.
I did these quite quickly so I didn't think too much about them. It was interesting what came out.
The 'fear' drawing here surprised me. Spirals! Maybe that's why I doodle them so much… obviously something deep and meaningful coming out here….
Now I have to combine some of them to make new doodles. Haven't done that yet. I must try and do that over the next couple of days – the next lesson is out on Tuesday. Can't wait to see what we do with these!
Yes, we had a list of words, although we could add more to it. I found it quite challenging! Mine are about 1.5 inches square, but only roughly. Some are larger than others – I just drew rough squares very quickly!
How fascinating, Liz. Is this an online course you're taking?
Love your sketches — what a great idea!
Is this the class with Susan at Creative Chick blog? I had wanted to take that class but couldn't manage it this round…but thanks for the enticing peek.
If you want to try the course, it is still open. You work the lessons on your own time schedule. Plus I leave the forum open a long time after the last lesson for you to keep sharing. Here are the links for the two classes I am teaching right now.
