| Aim of the method | To support thinking to allow creativity and access to different parts of the psyche; using drawing as a means of expression |
| Duration | It depends on the “level” of the previous activity – from 10 minutes to 1 hour |
| Participants number | It can be done 1:1 or in bigger groups |
| Materials | A3/A4 papers, hardcover pads, pens, pencils, colors, brushes, cups with water, chalk, etc. (depending on options). If possible, music and candles to prepare a pleasant atmosphere in the room. |
| Detailed instructions | After the group finished an activity, we gather them back together in a space where we prepared all the materials.ย We tell them: In front of you, you will find paper and all sorts of drawing materials.ย We invite you to reflect on previous experience by drawing. Being a perfect painter or thinking about the outcome too much is unnecessary. It is not about the destination but the journey. Enjoy the process, and let the creativity flow. Please stay in silence and do this process individually. Music will play in the background; feel free to find a comfortable spot.ย You will have half an hour for this process. After 25 mins, you will hear a bell to let you know that there are 5 min left, and it’s time to come to an end slowly.ย Are there any questions? After half an hour, participants stay silent (help us clean the materials) and decide about the next step of reflection – go in a circle and share, go in pairs/trios, and let the others say what they see, journals, etc. |
