Automatic Writing

This week I attempted a task that I had never even heard of. It is called automatic writing, and the idea is to look at something, in this case a photograph of a painting by Picasso, and write continuously for 5 minuets about what you are thinking while looking at the painting.

This was the painting I stared at:

This is what I had to say;

Ghost, ghoul, wind taking you away from everything you love, eyes, thoughts,  messy heads, creative minds are rarely tidy, lonely, darkness, everywhere, no space left, white yet dark and empty, death mixed with life to provide contrast, weird, shapes, make less realistic, triangles, irregular, original, unique, babies, animals, horns, sharpness, but smooth unlikely things take place, don't know, lost, confused, unaware, swords, fighting? death battle, lifeless, thoughtless, gone, understanding, lost, blank, nothingness, light elements are the same colour, levels yet 2D, surrealism, unaware, light in the eyes, dark souled, don't know.
