In this class we got given a piece of paper, a pencil and told "make marks all over the page". After we completed this task, Caroline explained to us the three different types of scribbling. This was very interesting how the three diferent types were present throughout the class but they were all expressed very different by each individual. Before this class I did not know that there was different types of scribblings before this class I always just thought that scribbling was scribbling. I found it helpful to know that especially for children scribblings actually have a lot of meaning to them.

For the third activity, the participants expressed how a happy song and a sad song makes them feel, we played the happy song second in order to brighten the mood coming to the end of the facilitation so they leave the activity feeling happy. We allowed the participants to pick the songs which we played as everybody has different happy and sad songs. As you can see from the above picture everybody really took to expressing the songs very very differently and the participants said that they really enjoyed this activity.

For the second activity, the participants used different colours and textures to what a good and bad day looks like for them, assisting them to express their feelings. This was a very interesting to watch as the colours used by each participant were very similar but what they drew or expressed as to what makes a good/bad day was very different.

For out first activity in our facilitation, we gave each individual in our group a page with a circle on it and gave the instructions of using whatever colours, textures or any other material they would like to express themselves in whatever way they wish. As a group we felt that this would be a good activity to warm up with as it was relaxing, simple and gave the individuals to warm up to the other people in their group and the different materials that would be used throughout the facilitation.

Painting image other individual in activity drew of myself, I found this really enjoyable as I was quite surprised how much it actually did look like me. It was very relaxing to paint it and after everyone had finished painting it was very interesting when the lecturer held up the different completed pictures and the class had to guess who it was. I was very surprised at how similar they were and how as a class we were able to tell who it was.

Drawing individual sitting across for us without looking at the page- difficult to not look at what your drawing and I felt as if I kept looking even if I told myself not to. I found this very frustrating as I knew that I should not be looking but it was my bodies automatic reaction to look at what I was drawing.

In this class we were paired up with another individual in our class and we were given a sheet of paper and two different coloured markers and told to mark make together. One individual would make a mark and then the other individual would make a mark after them and then this process would be repeated. This was very interesting as each individual had a different marks but by adding onto each others marks. This was a lot of fun and very relaxing and it was interesting to see how your mark could be made into something else. It really emphasised how everyone perceives different things differently.

Throughout this class we learned about the differences between arts and crafts and creative arts. Before this class I always presumed that these were all the same thing however they are not and creative arts is a completely different thing which helps all individuals to express themselves through different types of activities whereas arts and crafts are the different activities.

In this class we were given pieces of paper with different shapes on them and told to express ourselves using the shapes. It was very interesting to see how each individual in the class drew something different for each shape given, no two were even similar in the whole class. This really put emphasis on how the unconscious mind works. The second activity which we completed in this glass was when we were given a piece of string and water with food colouring and told to express ourselves on the piece of paper. This had very similar outcomes to the first activity as no two pieces of art created by individuals in the class were the same and everyone found their own way of using the string to create the picture.
