Instead, I took this opportunity to rediscover something I used to do in my adolescent years. I know what some of you may be thinking, and NO it wasn't getting drunk and making a mockery of the class. I was actually a good kid (I'm going off topic a little)
To pass time, during lunch breaks,
some friends and I would do this drawing game. The origin of the game is unknown,
and this isn't a history lesson turned blog post. One of us would draw a series
of scribbles on a blank piece of paper while the other person looked away, then
we had to draw a caricature from that scribble.
The rules were that the person
creating a caricature was not allowed to look while the scribbles were being
drawn. Provided that I was alone in this class didn't leave me much of a choice
but to scribble on my own. But I did follow the same rule, I looked away and
tried to act surprised (in secret of course)
All joking aside, this is a great
way to expand your creativity.
Finding an object or caricature in
a scribble is fun and it's a great way to pass the time. I was amazed at how
well my creations turned out. Somewhere along the way, I forgot that I can
actually draw creative images.
I think I may try this game with my son, kids makes the best scribbles.
