Innovative writing - Collages

Creative Collages (Michalko, 2006, Thinkertoys)."Similar to the sand tray, the metaphorical collage is an assemblage of pictures, both whole images and fragments. Each element in the collage loses its separate identity as it becomes part of the whole. The collage is greater than, and often different from, the sum of its parts. When two or more dissimilar images collide in a collage, the imagination transform them into an altogether new realitythat transcends the separate elements." Use this to method to be inspired for new ideas to write your novel or poem.
