Why Collage?
Collage is not only a fun and expressive art form, but it also offers a wealth of mental and emotional benefits, including:
- Boosts Creativity: Encourages experimentation and out-of-the-box thinking as you work with a range of materials and techniques.
- Reduces Stress: The tactile process of tearing, cutting, and assembling can be incredibly meditative and calming.
