#308 – Scott’s Monkey Trial
I recently watched an interesting presentation about creativity. Â Within it is a creative exercise that challenges you to: a) imagine a picture of a bear; b) think of a different bear; c)Â dig deeper and attempt to conjure a third visual of a bear. Â It gets increasingly difficult, but also requires creative thinking.
Anyway, I was thinking about that when I drew these. Â I took the idea pretty literally and tried to come up with three different ways of drawing something. Â In this case, I substituted the bear with a monkey (something that I’ve long been terrible at drawing from imagination). Â It was an interesting challenge. Â Later I noticed that my monkeys got progressively happier and more active. Â I guess that’s a good sign?
