Silhouettes, faces and form collage

During this session I invited participants to explore their ideas and the collage materials provided to create a silhoueete or physical form of their being. Capturing their worlds inside out.

Positive affirmations and statements

I often using collage in groups as imagery and words can be found by the creator and used in a way to express their thoughts and feelings. It takes away any pressure of drawing or knowing where to start. It also removes the blank canvas as participants can work on a page straight from a magazine.

Silhouette

This image is another example from the sihouette and form workshop where participants captured things in life that helped to maintain their wellbeing. This could be being in touch with nature, reading, relaxing and making art.
