Shape Templates - Unblocking Exercise
Fill in the shapes: This exercise is inspired by Bob McKim of the Stanford Design Program and his 30 circles exercise.
Print out these PDFs (or you can draw your own shapes on scratch paper) and set a timer for 2 minutes per page.
Fill in as many of the shapes as possible–the idea is quantity not quality. You can have a running theme throughout or maybe they are all parts of one subject or make up one large image–it can be whatever comes to your mind! Your goal is to fill out as many as possible.
The idea is when you go for quantity, you don’t have time to censor yourself–you can edit it later. This is the stage where creativity flourishes.
The PDFs available include a sheet of: circles, squares, triangles, a variety of shapes, and a variety of shapes and sizes. Print all or select pages or make your own shape template sheet.
This is a great way use scratch paper! I recommend printing on the blank backside and selecting the "draft" or "quick print" mode on your printer to save ink.
Finish The Drawing - Unblocking Exercise
Finish the drawing: Use the marks on the page to create a drawing. Page 1 includes different marks in boxes to create 6 different drawings. Page 2 is a little more challenging with marks to be used to create one drawing.
Remember that it doesn't have to be perfect! Complete the challenge and observe what you created and why.
