Courageous Creativity with Lucy Morningstar

For this exercise with Lucy Morningstar, we drew self-portrait(s) for 10 minutes in INK! She suggested not using a pencil because we'd get hung up on getting it right and erasing. After we drew them, she had us tear them up to help us not identify or attach to the art or to our ideas of ourselves.  She described doing self-portraits when she was very depressed as a way to gain some distance between the feeling and the person she was as a whole. I noticed on the Courageous Creativity Facebook page that someone had glued the pieces back together for the art journal. I had drawn several quick sketches and so when I put them back together, I mixed up which pieces came from which drawings.
