Imagine if you met someone at a party-- what question could you ask them to start an interesting conversation?
Imagine if you were teaching and a new student joined your class-- what could you ask them to arrive at a deeper understanding of who they are?
Imagine if you had a new studio mate-- what could you ask them to arrive at a deeper understanding of who they are?
Imagine if you could ask me anything--- what would you ask me?
Now that we have generated some questions, let's put them to good use!

A Tree Like Me
A Tree Like Me
Think about the day that you were born. Somewhere on this earth a tree started to grow. That tree has been growing since the day you were born. We don't know where that tree is, but it is as old as you are today. If you were to see your tree today, what would it look like? Think about the kind of tree it is. How big is it? Where is it growing and is there anything nearby? What color is your tree and does it change colors with the seasons? What makes up your tree? What kind of leaves does it have? Does your tree grow fruit? Or flowers? How does your tree feel? How does it smell?
How is your tree like you?
When you have a picture in your head of what this tree looks like, go ahead and create it using the materials of your choice.

Start noticing/documenting your creative practice

Collect any other relevant documentation or "evidence" as well. Next class we will discuss where to organize that evidence.
