creative

Here are two icebreakers that I use one after the other on the first day of my MA Screenwriting course. The aim is to get the students into a creative space / mind set as well as to bond.

This summer project is sent to students in July to complete before they join the Illustration course in early October. It forms the basis for discussion, feedback and getting to know one another exercises in the first days of term. Students put their work up in the studio and are asked to use post-its to comment on each others work. These can be positive remarks, suggestions for improvements (always couched positively) and questions about technique, style, creative process etc.
