Michael Mendizza- Imagination Part 3 - Once Upon A Time
How storytelling develops imagination. Imagination goes much deeper than make-believe play and storytelling. Imagination is a mental field, a swirling flood of impressions, a movement of the immediate present blending seamlessly with the distant past. The dictionary defines imagination is the capacity to create mental images of something not present to the senses. Dreams and problem solving happen in our imagination. Logic, reason and mathematics are all highly imaginative processes. Anything symbolic, including all forms of written and oral language, involve imagination. Imagination is the process through which we build the image we have about ourselves.
