Art Share: Class about Trauma
I myself have experienced different forms of Trauma, so how I would describe my experience in listening this day, was that I started to draw my comfort doodle. To begin with, I chose this hot pink paper, and I've been finding myself being drawn to this color, since the beginning of the semester (my superhero's outfit was also hot pink), without even thinking about it. So I looked up possible meanings of pink, and it can symbolize love, care, and acceptance.
After finishing my shapes, I decided to go over the defined lines with water, and ended up blurring the lines. I can probably go into the meaning of it all but I won't get into that, but I will say it's the first time I altered my favorite doodle.

I think it's really interesting that you altered your comfort doodle and acknowledged that it was the first time that you've done that, I wonder what was different about this time and place. When I look at this piece, I see each shape and corresponding color both individually and part as a bigger picture.
