• Holding your drawing tool in your hand, quickly and without thought, “make a mistake” on a blank sheet of paper. • Scribble or scratch, use your non-dominant hand, or let your hand just “mess up” the paper with a couple of quick, thoughtless marks. • Relax, then respond with light-heartedness. Keeping your sense of humor and play, respond to the “mistake” with new marks. Let it grow into something new. • More "mistake" ideas: Rip the paper. Spill something on the paper. Poke holes in the paper. Crumble up the paper.
Sketchbook Reflection:
• What was a big “mistake” in your life? • How did it help you grow? • In your heart, thank it, and let it go.
