Exercise: The Elements
About:
This exercise lets us connect with the four elements - Earth, Water, Fire, and Air. It deepens our mark-making range and vocabulary about our work.
Materials:
• Sketchbook
• Pencil
• Oil pastels
• 4 sheets of Bristol paper
Transcript
Process:
• With oil pastels at the ready, meditate on your first element and play the accompanying sound (below).
• Sense how it moves, perhaps recreating the movement with your own body.
• Allow the feeling of the element to guide your hand; let the essence of the element come to life.
