Midweek, we gather again for our Skill-Building + Café Night — and this one is all about grounding through the basics
Week 13 Focus: ROOT
This week, we’re strengthening the foundation beneath everything you create.
Simple.
Steady.
Supportive.
✏️ Session Notes
🖊️ Line Confidence + Mark Stability
Directions:
Fill a page with slow, intentional lines. Try straight lines, curved lines, and repeated strokes. Focus on moving your hand steadily rather than perfectly.
Prompts:
- What happens when I slow my hand down?
- Which lines feel most natural to me?
- Where do I feel tension vs. ease while drawing?
🌱 Simple Plant + Organic Form Sketching
Directions:
Using references (real or imagined), sketch simple leaves, stems, or organic shapes. Break them down into basic lines and curves. Keep it loose and observational.
Prompts:
- What shapes repeat in nature?
- How can I simplify what I see?
- What feels more intuitive—observing or imagining?
🔁 Repetition as Grounding Practice
Directions:
Choose one shape, line, or small form and repeat it across your page. Let it become a pattern. Focus on rhythm rather than variation.
Prompts:
- How does repetition affect my focus or mood?
- When does it start to feel calming vs. tedious?
- What kind of rhythm naturally emerges?
