This week's sketches post takes a departure from our usual architectural focus. As part of our weekly Wednesday morning studio meeting, we have decided to focus on our mental well-being. Therefore, we engaged in an exercise that helped us get in touch with our feelings as well as learn more about each other.
We listened to music whilst everyone in the Rock Townsend team produced a drawing (5 minutes per drawing) for four of the core human emotions: Happiness, Anxiety, Calm and Anger. We then discussed our approaches to expressing these feelings through drawing and explored methods of amplifying positive emotions and addressing negative ones in our daily lives.
What situations trigger your anxiety? How would you visually depict your anxiety through drawing? What proactive measures can you take to alleviate those anxious thoughts and feelings?
