Kit version 0.1 (draft for review) · for anyone who runs it: teachers, parents, artists, volunteers
Ping Pong Painting One person draws a line. The next person adds another.
Nobody has to talk. The drawing is the conversation.
Run it in your place. This kit is everything you need, and anyone may use it.
What you need
- One sheet of paper for every two people
- A pen for each person (two colours help)
- A table where two people can sit side by side
- 20 to 40 minutes
How it goes
- Put one sheet between every two people.
- Show the instruction instead of explaining it: draw one line, hand the pen to someone, let them add one.
- Now every pair takes turns: one line each, back and forth.
- No talking. The drawing is the conversation.
- Keep going until both of you feel it is finished.
- Give the drawing a title together.
- Hang the drawings in pairs, each with its title.
- Close with: "You made this together. Neither of you could have made it alone."
The CRE8 way
- Just start. It doesn't have to be perfect.
- Say yes, then add more.
- Follow what excites you.
- Show it. Name it. Share it.
The facilitator's promise
- We trust your creativity.
- We listen without judgement.
- Your ideas matter.
- We show what you make.
- We create together.
Before you photograph children or share their names, ask their families and follow the rules of your school or place.
