Day 16
““We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” ~ George Bernard Shaw
- Find a piece of paper and a pencil or pen.
- Look at yourself in the mirror
- Set your 5 minute timer
- Draw a detailed portrait of your face- upside down.
- If possible, use a photo you can flip upside down as reference.
- Note the areas of struggle to draw most and why the change in perspective make them difficult to draw.
If you are at the beach- draw it in the sand.
Extra points: Share your drawing with me. IG, DM or unpackyourcreativity@gmail.com
When we flip things upside down, our brains have to struggle to spot the features we are used to seeing. Viewing familiar things from a new perspective (like being upside down) is an effective way to help you notice all the details you usually take for granted.

MON:
What would happen if everyone wore the same clothes?
There would be less shopping, fewer stores, less waste. There might be more space to plant trees. We might all start to look beyond our material personas and start to notice basic shapes and colors, like each other’s pupils. We might begin to connect with each other more, or we might become more creative with other body parts, like our hair. A certain kind or color or hairstyle may suddenly be the defining factor between you and the next person.
Our minds might be more clear. What would happen if we never had to think about what shirt or skirt or dress to wear? What would happen if we collectively released all clothing-related thoughts and decided to concentrate our attention on something wild, like love? What if we chose to express ourselves through art, using our words and hands and song?
Or, we might all just get really bored. We may decide to give up clothing all together and go back to being naked. We may start to appreciate what God gave us, stop covering ourselves up and feel shame, start to notice our individuality, our sameness, our beauty.
CECI:
What would happen if there was no gravity?
Without gravity, everything that stands on this Earth would go floating into space, humans, animals, stones, water, etc. Furthermore, the Earth itself could not exist as a planet, nor have an atmosphere.
Grateful to have the pull of gravity
JESS: What would happen if…
…everybody wore the same clothes.
Andar desnudar seria la única opción para mostrar algo diferente
…everybody over 20 could fly, caminar o nadar seria lo más cool
…all the trees in the world had no leaves. Seria el día más triste de la humanidad
…no one ever cleaned their house.las casas se parecerían al océano hoy
…all the cars disappeared. Podriamos btrletransportarnos holograficamente a donde quisiéramos con dolo cerrar los ojos
…there was no gravity.llevaría de abajo hacia arriba
