How it goes

You get the sheet as you sit down. Three minutes on the clock. Make every circle something: a clock, a pizza, a face, a wheel, a planet. Most people get ten or fifteen and stall. Keep going. Change category, or let two circles make one thing.

Then two minutes around the room. What did you draw that nobody else did? What got you moving again when you stalled?

Why

One shape, thirty meanings. The meaning comes from what you add, not from the circle. That is the whole idea of today, tried on paper before the software gets involved.

Hand in
