Collage activity delivers meaningful results

In my recent NDIS group art class I used collage as the medium and flowers was the theme.

Something unexpected happened when I invited my participants to add cut out words to their collages. I had a wellness magazine in the pile of offerings so the words that were selected were like affirmations. Each art piece became very meaningful and personal to the participants, the images now matching the meaningful words that had been added. I was so moved I wanted to create this blog.

Below is a section of one ladies collage, the words are so powerful in context.

Love who you are

This next example really suited the affirmations this individual needed in her life.

Better

Joyful

Joyful Better and Better

The next images were also cathartic for the creators
