It might not be what your boss suggests, but doodling during meetings and phone calls might be good for your for your visual art practice.
I recently did the doodle above during an hour long call.
I was suprised by all the different patterns I was able to create with simple lines dots and circles.
I think this mediative practice:
- is easy to do with minimal supplies
- suspends judgement – quiets your critical voice
- can create some pleasing results to feed your art practice
For those reasons, I have added a daily meditative mark making prompt to the Mixed Media Retreat, the online class. Details on the workshop page.
I think meditative marks can:
- be a source for stamp and tool making
- be a way to learn to draw more shapes
- be just plain fun and relaxing
Hope to see you in class.
