It was like a more structured process than the epiphany you are describing. The assignment was to keep a small book with you of stapled together paper (3x5 inches or so) and to doodle in it all week. Look at the shapes you use and the compositions you create naturally. The artist who taught the class's opinion was that this was the key to unlocking one's "visual language." For me it was life changing and now my art comes easily for me. I hope you find this idea useful too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
