ABSTRACT PAINTING (VISUAL COMMUNICATION)

Below are some more recent examples of the second exercise I've set for patients involved in the project (see WEEKS 2 - 3 for rules and further examples). I understand that writing and committing to a narrative in the traditional sense can be quite daunting at first, so this exercise aims to demonstrate the ways in which stories can be told in a more abstract way. 

As with all exercises that make up the Storytelling project, there is no right/wrong to carry out this task, so it's been really great to see the different ways in which patients approach it. 

I'm hoping that patients will use their experiences of participating in this task to inform the creative decisions they make when we come to producing final artworks - use of colour can be a great way to communicate emotion when words seem tricky.
