How can we find and approach a topic?

Watch and listen!

Sound is very helpful to find the groove of your story. So stroll around with the scope of an interesting place. Sit and listen. Do not think about your story, this comes later. This step helps you to nourish your brain to develop later a reportage drawing.

What kind of objects do you see? Name them all or doodle them all!

Can you collect an object that stands as a symbol for your location? Glue it in your sketchbook.

What kind of persons do you see? For the story, it may be helpful to make a list of the persons as far as you know them.

 

What are the persons doing?

Simone B.

 

Guess what their day may look like.

 

 

Think about their schedule and what they may have done before and what they are doing later.

Wait longer then you planned, because boredom makes you creative.

So stay again 15 minutes and refrain from distracting you on your mobile phone.

What are the wishes and desires of the persons?

Fabienne S.

What have they experienced?
