For my FMP I have started to explore the ideas of mental health within the context of the emotional development from the transition of a child to an adolescent brain and translating them into 3D art visually through fairy tales and dreams.
The first piece of research I did was to read The Uses of Enchantment The meaning and importance of Fairy Tales by Bruno Bettelheim. (Thank you David)
This book was a good starting point, as it makes one aware of the importance of fairy tales and how children relate to them when coping with their own emotions and their experiences in every day life. This book explains how the best known and loved takes of our childhood give children an invaluable platform in which to grow emotionally and morally.
