I Heart Inkblot is a roving art installation and a community based outreach program offering art therapy for parties, groups, retreats, team-building workshops and festivals.

Enter into magical journey deep into your psyche and tap into the artist deep within. Splatter a few drops of watercolor paint on a piece of paper, play around with color, blending, folds and types of paper. Once dry try different pens from sharpie to ballpoint and trace the blots to see the fantastic creatures you can create. Inkblotting reawakens creativity, provides endless inspiration, strips away self doubt, balances both hemispheres of the brain, stimulates the pineal gland (3rd eye), accesses higher dimensional concepts, connects to the collective consciousness and provides a window into your own mind.

CREATIVITY QUOTES



“People who think they are not creative, or cannot listen to their 
own inner intuitive knowing,have not yet learned to listen to their process. 
Indeed, they may have learned very early how to tune 
out the imagination’s knowledge. 
Not everyone draws, writes, or sculpts, but everyone 
dreams and fantasizes and doodles. 
The creation of story in dreams and fantasies and the creation 
of images in doodling are the primary activities of the imagination. 
When we stop trying to control 
the imagination and allow it to do what comes naturally - 
the spinning of words, images, symbols – 
we discover the depths of our inner wisdom.”

Klecksography

Klecksography From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 


A klecksograph by Justinus Kerner, published 1879 Klecksography is the art of making images from inkblots.[1] The work was pioneered by Justinus Kerner, who included klecksographs in his books of poetry.[2] Since the 1890s, psychologists have used it as a tool for studying the subconscious, most famously Hermann Rorschach in his Rorschach inkblot test. Contents 1 Method 2 History 3 Use in psychology 3.1 Binet and Henri 3.2 Rorschach 4 See also 5 References Method Spots of ink are dropped onto a piece of paper and the paper is folded in half, so that the ink will smudge and form a mirror reflection in the two halves. The piece of paper is then unfolded so that the ink can dry, after which someone can guess the resemblance of the print to other objects. The inkblots tend to resemble images because of apophenia, the human tendency to see patterns in nature.[3] History A page of poetry and art from Justinus Kerner's Klecksographien (1890) Justinus Kerner invented this technique when he started accidentally dropping blots of ink onto paper due to failing eyesight. Instead of throwing them away, he found that intriguing shapes appeared if he unfolded the papers. He elaborated these shapes into intricate cartoons and used them to illustrate his poems. Kerner began a collection of klecksographs and poetry in 1857 titled Klesksographien. His collection was not published until 1890 because of his death in 1862. In 1896, a similar game was described in the United States by Ruth McEnery Stuart and Albert Bigelow Paine in a book titled Gobolinks, or Shadow-Pictures for Young and Old. The book explained how to make inkblot monsters ("gobolinks") and use them as prompts for writing imaginative verse.[4]
