Another lovely day with my art class. A lot has happened to create structure with me and the people living in the area. I have met a few different characters but things get out of hand when there are two many people in the class, as people just get raucous and don’t sit quietly and do a mandala like art class trains them up to. They can also talk to each other in a friendly manner in the class room similar to a library except you use colour pencils and pens to think things out with other people.
A systematic mind uses colours to link dots and work out different patterns or piece of information. The systematic colour coded thinking can be used to help in putting different patterns in a composition visually or different pieces of information in a written document sequentially, as you have all the information up front and then you lay it out shuffle it around.
The Art class stations for locals were used well as they had a well prepared class. I had brought pencils and paper as I am a trained high school art teacher and know the social benefits that working creatively with other people in spaces can have. You can focus with people and drawing as you are doing your work. This may seem anti social but if it is a specified art class it is a relaxing way to spend 2 hours. Remember you should relax as you do your work then you allow new ideas to come.
