Try something new! Arm crossing! • How did it feel when you were asked to cross your arms the other way? • Did it come naturally or did you have to stop and think about it? • Were you comfortable with doing this differently from your normal process? • What are some things that make people resistant to change?
THE CHALLENGE: A PLACE TO KEEP SOME IDEAS FOR NOW: What is something you used to think, but think something else now? Take a minute to reflect on this and think of some ideas you think now or may have once thought and write them down
THE CHALLENGE: A PLACE TO KEEP SOME IDEAS FOR NOW: What would be a good container to hold this idea for now? • Slab construction: rectangular or cylindrical • Decorate the exterior to reflect the challenge • Place the idea inside the finished product
Brainstorm! • Sketch ideas for 5 minutes straight • Do not let your pencil stop moving • If you get stuck, try sketching some ideas that reflect the OPPOSITE of this art challenge • Come up with as many ideas as you can; you will need at least 4 sketches at the end of the 5 minutes • After 5 minutes, CHANGE your seats and discuss your ideas with whatever group you end up with
REVIEW • Ideas change across time • Ideas about the universe, medicine, animals, fashion • We tried arm crossing and how weird it felt to do it differently • We started brainstorming our ideas for a vessel to hold the ideas we hold, or used to hold
What is a question you have or something you still want to know?
