House Image…  Prompt #311

 

Think of a house or an apartment you lived in – either where you grew up or one that comes to you most strongly: a place that seems most pertinent or the place you want to discover more about.

Use a pen or pencil and draw a blueprint of the house or apartment.

Sketch the floor plan, include doors (front, back, side), stairs, and each room within the house.  Let your hand and mind be the guides. Don’t worry about getting it exactly correct.

Use color to explore

When you feel done with the blueprint, use color to explore the house/apartment and your feelings.

Color the rooms, or outline the rooms, using the actual or basic color of the walls, the rugs and furniture.

When you feel done with coloring, write whatever comes up.
