FEEL SOMETHING MAKE SOMETHING - CAITLIN METZ KA...

An intimate  quietly revolutionary guide to using art to process  understand  and collaborate
with your feelings  from the co-author of My Body  My Home .   Understanding our emotions is a
lifelong process. Many of us were taught to avoid  suppress  or run away from intense feelings
like grief  anger  and sadness. What if  instead of hiding from your emotions  you collaborated
with them?   Feel Something  Make Something is a guide to experimental  creative
self-expression and reflection. Caitlin Metz believes that making art—whether it’s a detailed
scribble on a crumpled receipt or a 100-day series of photos—gives your feelings a physical
form and provides space to observe them from a distance. To help kickstart your creative
process  Metz offers tutorials on zine-making (complete with a pull-out DIY zine to keep in
your wallet)  drawing  bodymapping  mindmapping  self-portraiture  and writing personal
manifestos.  This act of creation can be a form of release  documentation  ritual  conversation
or disruption. You may choose to sustain your feeling  to channel it into your work  or to
shift it completely. To feel something and make something is both an invitation to take a
breath and an opportunity to shift your perspective.   Feel Something  Make Something is not
about making perfectly polished works of art. The outcome of your art-making is arbitrary. The
process is the work.
