Before you start creating a canva, identify the feeling that you want to convey, whether it’s joy, sadness, frustration, or love. Using the Canva link above, transform your deepest emotions, thoughts, and unspoken words into a powerful visual expression through drawing or illustration. Choose a creative approach, such as abstract designs, or symbolic imagery, or any style of your choice to make the illustration both meaningful and visually compelling. Use colors intentionally—vibrant hues to reflect positivity, dark shades for intensity or mystery, and soft tones for calmness or nostalgia. Shapes and symbols can add depth, with jagged lines illustrating turmoil, flowing curves representing peace, and broken elements symbolizing struggle or loss. To enhance meaning, consider incorporating words or phrases that resonate with the message. Make the illustration truly unique by allowing personal emotions to guide the composition, ensuring it conveys a deep and authentic expression. There are no rules—trust the creative process.
After creating your canva download it as PNG and then save it on your device. In your Virtual Professionals notebook kindly include a short explanation about it. Your explanation should be at least 150 words long. Keep it brief yet clear and easy to understand. Before sending your canva, make sure to rename the file using the email subject line below.
Do not use ChatGPT or any AI tools to generate your output. However, you may use ChatGPT to check the grammar.
Important Note: As much as possible, do this activity when you are calm, not rushed, and when your mind is clear and relaxed. Avoid doing it during busy or stressful moments to fully benefit from the experience.
Using your VP Gmail, add the SUBJECT line: Activity 67: Digital Sketch | VP Screen Name, and take a photo/s of your output and change the photo’s file name according to the sequence of the pages in your Virtual Professionals notebook. For example: Activity 67 (1), Activity 67 (2). Send it to info.virtualprofessionals@gmail.com and CC michelle.virtualprofessionals@gmail.com along with the canva image that you created.
Goal: To creatively express and release unspoken emotions by transforming thoughts and feelings into a meaningful Canva illustration, allowing for a sense of relief and self-discovery. This process aims to take off the unspoken burden by visually communicating what words cannot, fostering emotional clarity and personal growth.
