Today’s Take Action Prompt: Create your own wild garden of creativity.
By Sandra Lee Schubert | January 30, 2008
First, get outside. Take along your pen and paper, even a camera or drawing pad. Walk around your neighborhood and see it for the first time. Imagine you are a tourist. What is your first impression? Notice the colors, smells and sounds of where you live. Write about it from that point of view. If you brought along a camera and something to draw - take some photos, sketch your next-door neighbor. Later create a collage of what you wrote, add any photos and drawings you might have.
In the coming weeks, choose a flower or fruit of the week and write about it. Describe the color, smell and shape of it. Create a collage that represents the flower /fruit. As an example, if you picked a rose, your collage might reflect images of love, flashes of red color or pink, maybe a wedding photo. Whatever the writing reveals; try to recreate it visually. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Think what else could be allowed to thrive in your creativity garden. You might even write out your writing goals and add them to your collages as flowers or plants that are ready to blossom. Be outrageous and see where it leads you.
