Creative
Visualization
Have close to you writing
materials. You will take notes at various points
in this exercise. Select an object that is
relativly simple and hold it in your hand. Look
at it briefly, and then close your eyes. Imagine
the object as you just saw it and hold that image
for a few moments. Then open your eyes and look
at the object as if you were a bug crawling on
the surface of it. See the variations in
it,imagine the textures. See every detail. When
you feel you have done this long enough, stop and
write down your observations.
Now repeat the above exercise,
but this time be a bird flying around the object.
Circle it. explore it from an arial point of
view. When finished write down these
observations.
Then be yourself and study the
object at eye level. Look it over good and write
this down as well.
Lastly, close your as and
imagine it again. Write down how your perception
of it has changed.
You should start with simple
objects such as rocks or leaves, pens, anything
ordinary. As you gain confidence move to more
complex shapes. Creative visualization does not
need to be practiced every day, but the more you
do the better you will become.
