"Confidence comes from success…But confidence also combines another quality because you can be successful, yet lack confidence. It requires a mental attitude shift to an expectation of success. And this alone, can bring about more success, reinforcing the confidence. It spirals from there."
New activity suggestion:
- Once you’ve made your colour and texture collage you could try different variations of collage techniques to explore your theme. You could use words, pictures or colours cut or ripped from magazines and newspapers, scraps of wallpaper, wrapping paper or anything that catches your eye from junk mail or sweet wrappers, foil, fabric scraps and collected texture rubbings. Have a look at our examples below, exploring recycled materials, for ideas
As you’re using the symbol of a hand to represent yourself you could consider using other symbols on your hand. Symbols can mean different things to different people but here are some ideas you could use:
- Heart: love
- Bird: freedom
- Butterfly: metamorphosis, change
- Circle: eternity
- Door: opportunity
- Key: knowledge
- Leaf: renewal, growth
- Spiral: continuity
- Star: hope
