Overview:

Vision Boards, (aka Mood Boards, Dream Boards, or Inspiration Boards), are used to visualize the path toward a goal. Let this exercise help hone your focus, daily.

Materials:

• Glue stick, tape, and or stapler
• 
Magazine cut outs, printed images from the internet, fabric, stickers, etc.


Process:

• In your sketchbook, brainstorm about the question “Why Art, Why Now?”
• 
Highlight or circle your favorite concepts, answers, and ideas.
• 
Gather images and text to represent these ideas, from the internet, magazines, your own art, etc.
• 
Adhere them to the front of your sketchbook to remind you of your intentions and goals for the course and beyond.

Sketchbook Reflection:

• Go deeper with a free-write on the same question - “Why Art, Why Now?” Free-writing means writing without stopping, via stream of consciousness, for a set time. Even if you’re writing ‘blah blah blah,’ keep your pen moving.
