Alif loves to draw and roller skates. You can find me riding the bus to watch people and eavesdrops inspirations. But lately, I’ve been spending my time at the rink doing some spins or draw people who skates.

About this FieldTrip

Ready to see eye to eye with your kindred spirits?

We’ll do what’s called Sightless Drawing or Contour Drawing.

All you need is something to draw on and something to draw with (even your digital tools!). This is more of an exercise in seeing than drawing. All levels, even total beginners, can join!

Please note: This FieldTrip is HIGHLY Interactive and includes mandatory Breakout Rooms. If you are not up for meeting and chatting with new folks, it will not be the right FieldTrip for you!


Agenda

  • We will warmed up with sightless drawing some basic shapes & self portraits.

  • I highly recommend to open your camera, but you can prepare a mirror if you’re shy. 

  • We won’t be allowed to peek down at our paper until we finished drawing.

  • After getting the hang of it, let’s do a breakout room session. You’ll be paired randomly and spend a few minutes drawing, and get to know each other. You blink, you lose! It’s a staring contest, remember?


What to know or bring

  • Your favorite drawing tools

  • A camera or mirror


What to expect

Workshop format!

A hands-on session where participants get to build, craft, or create something tangible.

Mandatory breakout rooms!

This FieldTrip is HIGHLY interactive and includes mandatory Breakout Rooms. If you are not up for meeting and chatting with new folks, it will not be the right FieldTrip for you!

It will be recorded!

The recording will be shared within 24 hours in the follow up email for a 4-day window, and available at the top of this page. Make sure to register for access!

How to make the most of FieldTrips

The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.

Show up fully

Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.

Stay curious

Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going! 

Celebrate your host

Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.

Support each other

We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things.  Try “Yes! And…” in conversation.

Not vibing?

It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
