Yeah, that does sound like a great exercise. We do a similar practice with white chalk and black clothing in my high-school classes. We also do 'free form' attacks where I hand students tanto and have them use them on each other. Different street styles emerge in this context and then we work on what the students are interested in learning or have brought to class, always emphasizing aikido philosophy and technique. It is always an eye-opener and a great practice.
