Feeling Unwell


Cray-pas, traced using body template, 2001
Assignment for Art and Well-Being class at Hamline


These are the first drawings in my art journal which I started during the art and well-being class at Hamline.  Each body represents how I was feeling- foggy headed, stone cold, radiating heat, and more.  When I shared these simple drawings in class, my classmates really responded to them, encouraging me, and opening a conversation.  I have since drawn my own body many, many times.
