Today’s creative lunch was at Caffé Italia!
We enjoyed a caffé combo pizza and texas toothpicks, which were so tasty!! While we ate our starters, we all drew a portrait of ourselves with our left hand (or non-dominate hand) upside-down. This exercise helps flex the right brain muscles, by not allowing you to follow typical drawing patterns. We used Crayon’s and it was actually a lot harder then we had expected!
When I went to draw my mouth as a smile I accidentally drew a frown because it was upside-down! This made my portrait look very sad, so I tried to fix it, but ended up making my face look like the Joker from Batman! Overall though, everyone’s portrait looked quite realistic — Peter with his sideburns, Rashael with her chuck tayolors, and Brianne with her one blue eye and one green eye. haha.
This was a fun activity which allowed us to use the right side of our brains, drive creativity, and step out of our comfort zones. We had a great creative Friday and delicious food!
Thanks Shar! for recommending Caffe Italia’s combo pizza, and Chris for the Texas Toothpicks, they were delish! I will definitely be using your “no peek” coupon in February!
