Expressive Arts Carnival Activity No. 13

5 July 2011 | By Paul | | Comments (2)

Welcome to Activity No. 13 of the Expressive Arts Carnival for the month of July 2011. Thank you to all who participate and a special welcome if you are new!

There is something new for this month. The directive:

Part 1: Think of someone you look up to, real or imaginary, who has taught you something you can use (or do use) in your healing. Describe either the characteristics of the person, what they told you, or how you have been helped. Use expressive writing by telling a story, writing a poem, or anything that makes sense to you. If you have a blog, you can feel free to publish this writing on your blog. But you will not submit this writing as your entry.

Part 2: For your entry, select three words from your writing that have particular meaning to you and also one color (or HEX color code) that you would like to associate with these words.

I will then create a single word cloud combining the three words from each submission.

As usual, you may also send up to a few sentences to say what the process was like for you or what this activity meant to you. It is up to you whether you want to identify which words are yours.

Entries are due by Tuesday, July 26, 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) with your expressive writing, 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.

Expressive Arts Carnival Activity No. 9

1 March 2011 | By Paul | | Comments (5)

Welcome to Activity No. 9 of the Expressive Arts Carnival for the month of March 2011. Thank you to all who participate and a special welcome if you are new!

This month's theme:

Write your memoir using only six words and present it as an image.


This is something different and I admit it may be difficult for many. But let's give a try!

I first read about "6 word memoirs" in the article The Story of Your Life in Six Words at the blog World of Psychology. If you are going to participate, then you should definitely check it out, along with all the links there.

Please submit your work as an image. You can use any image editing program, as most all have text editing features. Try to stick only to words (please do not use any imagery). Of course, feel free to explore your creativity in terms of how you present the words, color, orientation, etc. If you need help, you can use the online word cloud generators we used in our first Carnival: Wordle or Tagul.

Entries are due by March 22, 2011.

You may also feel free to send me a link to a page hosted on your own site (or blog), if you have one. It is important to repeat that nobody is required to have a website in order to participate.

The Carnival will be published on the afternoon of March 24, 2011.
