Day 7- Sit in your SP for 10 minutes and look closely at everything you can see. Make a list of as many things as you can- include at least 20, but challenge yourself to list as many as possible. Look at every little part of your spot. Do this again the next day and record new things you see in a different color. Try to focus on smaller and less obvious parts of your spot each time you do this. (You can try this several times, using a different color each day)

Day 8 - Sit in your SP for 15 minutes and look closely at the sky. What colors do you see? What colors other than blue do you see? Does the shade of blue change? Do you see any animals? What is the weather like? Describe the things you see by writing or drawing.

*Extension- Look at the work of Artist James Turrell . His "Skylight Series" features empty rooms with large windows that open to the sky in the ceiling. By forcing people to look just at the sky with no other distractions it becomes clear that the color of the sky is always changing! There are hundreds of different shades of blue, white, black and orange. You can observe some of them in the linked images. Try looking at the sky in your SP at different times of day and observe how that changes the color of the sky.

Day 9- Let the clouds inspire you! On a sunny day watch for clouds floating through the sky. Pick one and think about what it's shape reminds you of. Draw a picture and label what it is. (Draw quickly they move pretty fast!) As your cloud changes keep drawing the new shapes and labeling what each one is until you have a bunch of pictures or the cloud dissipates. (goes away) Draw and arrow to each new shape so that you remember the order. When you are done you can go back and add color or more detail. Then, make up a story that contains each shape in the order you saw them. (It might be a silly story...)

Day 10- Sit in your SP for 15 minutes and choose a small part of what you see to draw. You may want to physically block it off with string or yarn. Crop* out everything else and just draw the part you have chosen. Revisit this small area over the next few weeks and record the changes you see.
