CURIOSITY
This week fits really nice beside the last two weeks we've worked through (I didn't plan it this way, either. Funny how these things work out...). I remember one of my old art teachers telling me that Art is all about asking the right questions. As kids, we can't get enough of asking things - "What's this? Why is that there? Who are you talking to? How come this is like that?" The ramble continued until an adult finally had enough.
Suddenly we've become afraid to ask questions. And when we don't ask questions, awful things like assumptions and doubts sneak their way in to our heads. Soon fear and anxiety breed, and we're worse off than if we had asked the question in the first place.
This week, it's all about these questions. And getting them out in to the open. Answering even just one question that's been on your mind can bring you so much freedom - you'll be amazed. This week, channel your inner five-year old, please!
THIS WEEK, TRY THIS:
Ask a question you've been wondering for a while. Usually more will come up. Don't seek to answer them until you've gotten them all out. Choose one (or however many you want) and seek to explore different answers for it. Feel free to keep this project personal, or ask as many people as you see fit. The questions can be as complex or as simple as you want – but you can't know the answer going in to this project.
