1.
Make an Illustration Inside a Heart:-
Use a heart as a
pattern (enlarge and print the image with this post, if you like), and fill in
the different parts of the heart with images and designs related to the
emotions you are feeling right now.
2.
Draw or Paint a Mountain and a Valley:-
Let the mountain
represent times you were happy, and the valley those times when you were sad.
Include specific images related to those events.
3.
Make a Mandala:-
Mandala is a
Sanskrit word that can be loosely translated to mean “circle.” Versions of
mandalas are found in many religious traditions, including Hindu, Buddhist, and
Native American. In various spiritual traditions, mandalas may be used to help
focus attention, as a spiritual teaching tool, for establishing a sacred space,
and as an aid to meditation. One analogy would be to consider the making
of a mandala to be the artistic equivalent of walking a labyrinth. We’ll
definitely need to explore mandalas at greater length in a future post. In the
meantime, here’s a link to some mandala
patterns that may be helpful.
4.
Make a Drawing or Painting Related to a Quote You Like:-
Using one of the
quotes we posted earlier about Resilience
and the Triumph of the Human Spirit or another quotation that you
particularly like, take the words of wisdom from someone you admire and turn
them into something visually inspiring.
5.
Work Collaboratively:-
Everything is better
when it is shared with a friend or loved one. Get together with a partner and
collaborate on one of the above ideas or another project that will provide
comfort.
