The most common materials are paper, pencils, paints, and crayons. When making drawings for psychotherapeutic purposes, the features, properties and effects of both traditional and unusual materials are used. Here are some of them: Crumpled paper Drawing paper is first crumpled, then smoothed out so that a drawing can be made on it. Any pencils, paints, etc. can be used. The shape of the sheet can be changed as desired. Wet paper You need to wet a sheet of paper and then apply paints, letting them mix, experimenting with colors. The resulting forms and images can become recognizable. Then you can give them names, if you want to share your impressions. Color accents 1. Choose one color. Use it to depict various shapes. Determine for yourself the meaning of this color.2. Choose the color that suits you the most and the least at the moment. Make one drawing with each color. Try to combine these colors and associate them with opposite qualities of your character. Select a pair or group of colors that match (in your opinion) and arrange them.3. Express your most current experiences with a drawing, using a suitable palette. Then make a drawing that neutralizes your feelings.4. Using shades of one primary color, make a series of several designs. You can use other colors to create shades. The “Color Accents” exercise can be performed either as a whole block or individually. Contrasts Combine different image styles, shapes and colors in one drawing, making maximum use of all possible contrasts. Note for yourself which contrasts are easier for you and which are more difficult. What emotions and sensations does the drawing evoke? Doodle Technique of free travel of a pencil on paper. Don’t control the movement of your hand, don’t think of any images. Just draw any doodles without giving them any meaning. Swap drawings with a partner so that each of you finds images in the doodles and complements them if necessary, without disturbing or distorting the drawing. Share any associations that arise. You can come up with a story using the resulting images. Such exercises, based on the effects of visual media, actualize strong experiences, feelings, fantasies, and fears. They may not have a clearly defined structure and thematic focus. The exercises are suitable for both group and individual work. The variability of execution is limitless. I wish you creative inspiration! Svetlana Leontyeva
