Experiment #2: Monday, April 17th


An Experiment in Seeing and Writing

Write down, as fast as you can, all the things that you see: everything that comes before your eyes -- objects, things, shapes, colors, textures, people -- everything and anything that your eyes fall on. Try to look for details about the things that you see. Write also about what things look like, what they resemble. Say too what you are reminded of by what you see.

Remember that there is no right or wrong way to do this. Don’t worry about spelling or correctness right now. Just try to write down on paper as much of what you see as you can.
