Scribbles and Doodles

Reflect on a drawing you made as a child, its symbolism, and hidden emotions.

Childhood drawings not only hold artistic attempts but also a whirlwind of thoughts, feelings, and experiences that the child couldn’t put into words. Revisit a particular piece of juvenile art—picture it in your mind with all the colors and characters. Write deeply about what the drawing represented back then, the emotions it elicited, and its importance. This exercise taps into the symbolism used by your inner child, unveiling ways of communication before vocabulary was fully learned.
