Art Share: Stippy
I had a very frustrating experience with this activity. We talked about using professional grade Sculpy to explore capacity to tolerate frustration, but I think I got that out of this "easy" scuply :) I just really had a hard time getting it to do what I wanted, and got so absorbed in the effort and the feeling of frustration that I didn't have that much attention available for creating a character. I had some ideas as I was sculpting but they were kind of in the back of my mind. I wonder whether resistance came up for me because we were talking about adolescence and resistance, but I really didn't want to answer the questions on the sheet of paper, or share in front of the group. It's probably useful to have the opportunity to connect with all of these feelings since I really enjoy working with teens, and might get to start doing so a little bit in my placement soon.
