The Creative Process
1
Reflect on YOU
Take a few moments to think about your unique attributes. What are your best qualities? What do you love about your personality, your skills, or the way you treat others?
2
Curate Your Imagery
Browse magazines and find images, patterns, and words that represent those qualities. If you can't find the perfect image, feel free to draw it or write it in a creative font!
3
Arrange & Design
There's no right or wrong way to do this! You can group things by category, create a chaotic explosion of color, or make a structured pattern. Be as creative as you like.
4
Final Flourish
Glue everything down once you're happy with the layout. If you're comfortable, be ready to share one small part of your collage with a classmate or the group!
