When was the last time you drew a picture? Here's a little assignment. With a pencil or a pen or some crayons and a few sheets of paper, draw a picture of yourself. Draw a picture of a friend or family member. Draw a picture of your house. Do all these pictures without looking at your subjects, just draw from memory. Then do the same three pictures looking at your subjects, using a photo or a mirror for yourself. How much different do these subjects look compared with how you think they look? Also, do the drawings get any better or just different for observing while you work? Give yourself a little time to do these drawings but don't overdo it.
Then take your favorite picture from the whole bunch and stick it on your fridge with some tape or a magnet. Very good. Now wasn't that fun?
Another really fun thing to do is use an eraser to erase the eyes of person on a magazine cover so their eyes look all white. It looks really creepy . Do that while you are waiting in a doctors office.
