Steve Hall

Consider basic emotions or characteristics: i.e.- Joy, Jealousy, Anger, Love, Sadness, Depression, Happy, Peace, Fear, Sickness, Masculine, Feminine, and etc. As you work on one at a time, take the characteristic/emotion into mind, and try to remember what that specific thing feels like.
Just let the pencil go where you feel it should as you progress. Let your feelings and intuitions guide you. The main ideas of the exercise: to LET GO of preconceived notions! It helps to stimulate your creativity!
You cannot use literal symbols or pictures: no intentional tornadoes, hearts, clouds, fluffy bunnies, etc.
