A Visual Presentation of your life

Take time to think about your current life. What metaphors come to mind? One effective metaphor for life is a landscape. Think of the feelings that come over you when you look at a landscape of violently blowing trees compared with a landscape of gently rolling hills with low grass. Think of different objects that would symbolize your life right now, or where you’re heading.

STEPS:

1.Take 15 minutes to reflect on your life. What metaphor represents your current situation?

2.Sketch a visual representation of your metaphor on the paper with the colored pencils.

3.Use the watercolors to add more color to your art.

Questions for Discussion:

·What emotions surfaced while painting? ·What feelings are associated with your current experiences in life?

·It’s important to be honest about your feelings in order to feel them and then to release them. Is there another image of how you would like to experience life? Write your thoughts in your journal.
