Collage Self Portrait/Creative Practice

This started off as a self portrait collage….It still is, but with a little bit of a “vision board” thrown in. I began the exercise with wanting to go with a theme of fall colors, it’s my favorite season and brings with it most of my favorite colors, but as I printed off photos and cut out magazine clippings it turned into a trip down memory lane with a small glimpse into my future…
I enjoyed the exercise but I was a bit tired after I was done. This would lead me to believe that while it may be a good creative practice for someone confined to a bed, it may have to be done over a few days or in stages. I have done a creative practice like this with my adult day care clients at Neighborly and it was well received. I did break it down into a few days when I was working with them.
