IPek also mixes drawings into bigger-scale posters. These are designed either from numerous motives of previous year’s drawing workshops or from the drawings sent to an open call. They are more detailed, so they require greater concentration to colour and a longer time to complete. That is why they are usually not finished in one go, but provide the opportunity to return to the same poster multiple times. This process develops different skills than those developed in quicker tasks. Patience and endurance are automatically developed while colouring serves as a traditional tool for concentration. Repeating this mindfulness practice on the same drawing deepens the colouring person’s connection with the resulting design.
Would you like to create a participatory coloring poster for your social institute, museum, or community centre – have IPek do it with your community, or learn to do it yourself?
