Posted by katya De Luisa Thanks for the book reference. I'll look for it. Collage work creates an interaction with the brain whether you consciously know it or not. Interesting fact: Harvard University did several experiments on brain function and imagination. Subjects were put into an MRI to measure brain activity while images (photos) were shown on a specially fitted screen. The subjects were then asked to close their eyes and imagine images and their brain activity was again recorded. Amazingly the two readouts were almost identical. The brain doesn't know whats real or not and it will release hormones and send neuronal messages as though the imagined images existed outside our head. It's our thinking conscious mind that decides what's reality. Interesting info.....

Hi Judy,
I no longer work with children, I find working with the elders to be incredibly rewarding. Probably because I'm headed there.
