UNCONSCIOUS TECHNIQUES"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>1. Interaction with paper.<\/p>\n<p>Using paper, create a three-dimensional composition or sculpture. You can use scissors, glue, tape, etc. You can vary this task both thematically and instrumentally, for example:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; pass a sheet of paper around and let the participants do whatever they want with it (crumple, tear, cut, glue, etc.);<br \/>\n&#8211; create or cut paper figures and beat the story, story;<br \/>\n&#8211; use toilet paper to create the composition;<br \/>\n&#8211; use wrapping paper, cardboard (colored, etc.), bags, boxes, candy wrappers, etc. to create a composition.<br \/>\n&#8211; use newspapers and magazines to create a three-dimensional composition.<\/p>\n<p>2. Drawing on crumpled paper.<\/p>\n<p>Use crumpled paper as the basis for your drawing. First crush it well and tune in to work. At the same time, you can draw with paints or pencils (chalk), you can cut off the edges of the picture, making it in the form of an oval, circle, etc.<\/p>\n<p>3. Drawing on wet paper.<\/p>\n<p>Wet a sheet of paper and apply with a watercolor (or powder) drawing, you can use a spray gun. You should experiment with colors, watch how they mix, spread and notice what feelings arise from this. Then you can try to transform the patterns into images, give them names. Perhaps group interaction, exchange of impressions.<\/p>\n<p>4. Color experiments.<\/p>\n<p>1) Using one color, try, depicting different shapes and lines with it, to explore its semantic meanings.<br \/>\n2) Choose the colors that you most or least prefer at the moment; those that reflect your positive and negative sides of character.<br \/>\n3) Choose two or three colors that make up a harmonious group.<br \/>\n4) Choose two colors attractive to you and unattractive and create an image; create two drawings &#8211; one of the colors you like, the other of the colors you don&#8217;t like.<br \/>\n5) Create a picture of colors that neutralize your negative experiences.<br \/>\n6) Using a large brush, with your eyes closed, create an image on the sheet or paint over it, try to see the image or appreciate the features of the image. Then do the same with a different color.<br \/>\n7) Create a series of drawings on paper of different shades.<\/p>\n<p>5. contrasts<\/p>\n<p>Try to create a drawing using contrasting colors, shapes and styles in one composition. Consciously reverse the strategy, using all the contrasts in the image and the ways you know how to create it.<\/p>\n<p>6. Scribble<\/p>\n<p>Freely drawing on a sheet of paper with a pencil, draw scribbles without any purpose and intention and give to a partner who will have to create an image from them and develop it.<br \/>\nOptions:<br \/>\n&#8211; then exchange transformed scribbles with your partner and try to continue the drawing without disturbing what he has drawn, then discuss together your associations related to each other&#8217;s drawings,<br \/>\n&#8211; after completing the drawing, write a story based on the scribbles;<br \/>\n&#8211; Express in words your feelings and associations that have arisen when you perceive your partner&#8217;s scribbles;<br \/>\n&#8211; with sweeping movements of various parts of the body, create scribbles on a large sheet (whatman paper, the back of the wallpaper), you can close your eyes. After completion, find the image in the image and develop it.<\/p>\n<p>7. Monotypes<br \/>\nCreate an image with thick paints on glass, and then print the drawing on paper, look at the images, develop them, discuss in a group, give feedback to other participants.<\/p>\n<p>8. imprints<br \/>\nUse any objects and surfaces to make a pattern from their prints. Items can be found in nature, brought by group members from home, found in the classroom for classes, prints of body parts and elements of clothing, accessories, etc.<\/p>\n<p>9. Paint blowing technique<br \/>\nApply water-soluble paint with plenty of water to a sheet of paper, use various combinations of colors, at the very end of the work, inflate color spots through a thin tube, forming droplets, splashes and mixing colors into fancy scribbles and blots; try to see the image and develop it.<\/p>\n<p>10. Ink blots and butterflies<br \/>\nDrop ink on thin paper and fold the sheet into a tube or fold it in half, unfold the sheet and transform the image you see. Discuss the results of the work in the group, find the images of other participants that you like the most.<\/p>\n<p>11. Mixing colors<br \/>\nBy mixing thick paints, create interesting shades and combinations for you, experiment with the amount and color of mixed paints. From the resulting shades, create an image. An option would be to mix a large amount of paint directly onto the surface of the sheet.<\/p>\n<p>12. Charcoal drawing<\/p>\n<p>To create an image, use charcoal crayons, using all the possibilities of this pictorial material. You can use large paper sizes for your work. Use charcoal along with colored pencils or wax crayons. Discuss the sensations and feelings that arise during the work and its results.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of this work is always in-depth self-knowledge, the development of new activities and ways of behaving in an unknown situation. All these exercises actualize strong experiences, feelings, fantasies and fears. They do not have a clear thematic conditionality. They are applicable at the working stage of the group in the conditions of the formed atmosphere of trust and acceptance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
