My colleague, Ellen, and I are in the midst of our summer creative expression camp and today we did a really neat project.  Many times when we are reflecting on our lives we tend to journal/write down those thoughts and ideas.  Ellen had the idea of pushing the words out and getting us to think about important questions using visual media rather than written media.  She posed the following four questions:
1)  What have you always wanted to do but were to afraid to do or try?
2) What is the worst thing that could happen if you did it?
3) What is the best thing that could happen if you did it?
4)  What would you try/do if you knew that you couldn't fail?

We offered a wide range of materials and asked the participants to create their answer visually.  It was amazing to see what they came up with.  I wonder what kind of insight you might gain if next time you were reflecting on something, you chose to create with images, color, shape and texture rather than words...I know I was surprised where it took me...very powerful!  I'll post pictures tomorrow so you can see the great responses!
