Creativity Exercise

Look to your pet, animal companion this month. Think about their personality.

Exercise 1:
Use your pet as inspiration – sculpt, dance, describe, make cookies of your pet.

Exercise 2:
What is the main characteristic of your pet? Explore that in a new piece of work.

Exercise 3:
Pretend you are your pet. What would they do for fun? To be creative?

If you don’t have a pet, choose an animal, explore the characteristics of that animal in your own mind, check sites that might have deeper insight.

Affirmation

Animals give me inspiration this month. I will swoop with birds into creative moments, I will nap and meditate and consider things. I will love myself and other creatures. All will contribute to my knowledge of myself and my work.
