Today's Scribbles

Lynda Barry (format)  and Wally Neibart inspired daily exercise - @2 minutes apiece.
I add titles when the drawing is done.

I will publish drawings made from selected scribbles on this blog.

SCRIBBLINGS

Here is a page of scribbles turned into drawings. Each took less than 5 minutes. (I added the red so that the original scribbles would be easier to see for this particular drawing).

My father (who was also an artist) and I used to do these all the time, when I was young. He (and I, later) went to libraries and nursing homes and had audience members come up and make a scribble, then watch and laugh as he turned them into silly drawings. 

I use this exercise in my classes sometimes, to help unleash students' imaginations.

Lynda Barry's Writing the Unthinkable workshop reminded me of this amazing exercise in creativity.
