It’s March and rather
bleak in Vermont this morning. Snow, snow and more snow. I’m in need of some
“eye candy” and colors other than white. Today’s “take a break” is simple but
fun:
1. Take a white sheet
of paper and draw a large circle.
2. Divide the
circle into a pie by drawing a line down the center of the wheel. Draw a second
line that crosses the first. Now draw a third line that intersects the first
two lines and a forth until you have eight “pieces of the pie.” Depending on size
of paper you can as many slices as you'd like. It’s okay to limit it to four slices.
3. Using colored
markers, pencils, crayons, strips of a magazine, colored paper or even fabric,
start filling in the various sections of the pie.
Ideas for
coloring in each section of the pie, consider
• Assign an
emotion to each slice and color/design accordingly
• For each
season-spring, summer, winter fall-pick two events that you want to represent.
For example for spring it might include spring flowers, Easter eggs, while fall
could be changing leaves and Thanksgiving. Colors and shapes can easily catch
your mood, so need to worry about how well you draw.
• Use patterns found
in nature.
• Color a different
section 8 different times through out the day that captures your mood at that
particular time
• Use segments of
different photographs.
• Color a
mandala, cut it up in various pieces and glue the segments onto the pie wheel.
