The Drawing Game

Students had very specific rules for playing this game. No one was allowed to speak during the instructions, no one could ask any questions, and no one could peek at anyone else's drawing to see what they were doing. The instructions were to draw four straight lines from one edge of the paper to the other, draw two curved lines starting at the edge of the paper and ending somewhere in the middle, draw three circles and then add color. Students always panic because they think that there is a specific way to do this drawing when it fact it promotes creativity. Even though each student heard the same set of directions they all came up with some fabulous unique non-objective designs.
