Expressive Arts Carnival Activity No. 12

1 June 2011 | By Paul | | Comments (3)

Welcome to Activity No. 12 of the Expressive Arts Carnival for the month of June 2011. The carnival has now reached a the milestone of a full year of activities! Thank you to all who participate and a special welcome if you are new!

This month's theme:

Through drawing, painting, or any other visual means, create an image about how you are feeling in the moment. Try not to think about this. The purpose is to create an image by paying attention to your feelings. Also, please try not to judge your feelings. Whatever your feelings are when you decide to make the image is where you are. And whatever comes out will be okay. If you get stuck, try just picking up a color and exploring. With your entry, please also include a couple of sentences saying what the process was like for you which will accompany your art. This activity was suggested by regularly contributor Bay.

Entries are due by Wednesday, June 22, 2011 and will be published shortly thereafter.

You may also feel free to send me a link to a page hosted on your own site (or blog), if you have one. If you do not have a blog post specifically on your entry, and you do have a blog, please tell me if you would like a link to your blog in the carnival. It is important to repeat that nobody is required to have a website in order to participate.

To submit an entry use this link to e-mail: paul@mindparts.org

Please use "EXPRESSIVE ARTS" in the subject heading to help me keep track of submissions. Every submission will receive an acknowledgement of receipt. If you do not receive one within a day or two, then please follow up with me.

The Expressive Arts Carnival was founded to to bring survivors of abuse together through expressive arts activities. On the Carnival's home page you can find links to all activity announcements and Carnival publications. Activities are posted at the beginning of every month and submissions are open for approximately 2-3 weeks. The Carnival will be posted shortly after submissions are closed.

If you have questions or need clarifications, direct them to me by e-mail or ask in the comments here.

Is it appropriate to submit something that was done in the past for a similar exercise? I plan to work on this during the month, see what turns out; but, do have a previous work that fits the category so well.

Thanks, Bay, for the suggestion!
