Hi Patty,
One thing you might suggest is drawing while being transported. Trains,
buses, subways, boats are fine places for drawing. They may or may not
draw what is around them. In fact it is more fun to do abstract stuff
and let the movement help the lines to flow, tremble or jump, whatever.
Another thing is drawing for facebook. Use 15 minutes of your face book
time to draw in response to what you read and see in the faceb, then
photograph (or scan) it and post it. This is a bit fluxus thing and I
never tried it. I will next semester however.
Best regards,

The drawings are all being done in a sketchbook, so something like visual journaling, but also can be more mindless. The idea is to get rid of the resistance, perfectionism, self doubt-- the kind of things that would keep someone from successfully following through. The idea is oriented towards the practice, not the result.
