Your Monthly Creative Exercise

March:

Creative Mindful Daydreaming

By Julie Norburn

Find a comfortable spot to sit and look out of a window.

Spend 2 to 3 minutes observing what you see and hear. You might notice clouds shaped like animals or objects, the roof shapes of different houses and buildings, the tops of the trees. You might hear the weather, animals, voices, or traffic.

On a piece of paper, write or draw something that captures your experience. This could represent what you see or hear, or how you feel in that moment.

Don’t think too hard, just let whatever comes to mind flow out through the pencil. You might want to use a colour that draws your attention.

When I witness this exercise at Art4Space I love the freedom of expression and letting go of expectations.

About our Monthly Creative Prompts

These creative exercises were thoughtfully designed by our very own Art4Space staff and are practiced daily at our Community Arts Centre. Our tutors want to share them with you to encourage creative holistic wellness for everyone. 

Our exercises are designed to be simple and can be done anywhere whether you’re at home, at your place of work, in the park, on a train etc. 

You’ll only need some basic art materials, and you could keep a sketchbook or notebook specifically for your creative exercises to help keep them together and easily accessible. 



We hope that these exercises will encourage self-expression and help stimulate your creative mind. So, sit back, relax, don’t overthink it and let your creative responses take you away…
