Monday 28th June
Find what is missing. Look around at the world and notice what we need. You could take a picture of a space, somewhere outside or somewhere inside, and imagine what could fill it, capturing your vision through drawing. You could think of a specific thing, a person or object, and write their story. Interpret the missing things in any creative way you like. It might be something big or small… if you feel like a good dance is missing from your everyday….put some music on and get moving!

What Is Your Soundtrack?
Think of a song title and write it down. There is your title to your piece of writing! Maybe it’s a poem or a story? Don’t think too much about rhyme or structure of your writing – see where the words take you.
Songs are often connected to a memory, what does the song remind you of? You could think about who was there in that memory. What was happening? Why was it happening? Where was it happening? When did it happen? Your writing piece can be as long or as short as you like, you could illustrate your words with drawings, collage or photography!

Monday 17th May
Choose a colour that describes the way you are feeling. Can you capture that colour through one of the five senses – sight, sound, smell, touch or taste? Choose one that feels interesting to you, and create a sensory experience to enjoy….
If the colour was a song how would it sound? Where might you often find this colour? Is it in nature, in the food you eat or the clothes you wear? If the colour had a texture, how would it feel to touch? If you are feeling energised, in vivid tones of colour you could listen to some music to get you dancing. Or you might be feeling calm, in muted tones and capture it through making soft lines in a drawing.
Let’s brighten up the week!

Set a timer for two minutes, or however long you like, and write! If you are looking for some inspiration to get you started you could use these prompts to start your sentences: ‘If I was a bird…’ or ‘You said…’ Don’t think too much. Trust yourself. Be free. Express whatever. It should feel good. Don’t judge yourself. Write the first thing that comes into your head and keep going. You don’t have to write fast, but just make sure you don’t stop.
Because if you stop, you will think too much and you will start to try and impose meaning on it and wrap things up and ‘make a point’. See what it allows you to discover. Don’t worry about finishing, being complete or perfect. Be messy. . Allow it to come out in the way it comes out. Let your wonderful subconscious do it’s magic thing.
