MORE ABOUT What is a Vision Board? By Joyce Schwarz, best-selling Author, speaker, producer, The Vision Board by Harper Collins Publishing, Collins Design , email: joyceschwarz@gmail.com
Joyce explains that a vision board is a visual representation of what you are creating and want in your life now and in the future. copyright Joyce Schwarz, posted originally on 1/09/09
Vision Boards are also known as "dream boards", "wish boards", "Treasure maps" "Life Collage", "Wisdom Collage" and other names.
The history of the Vision Board dates back to the caveman era where pictures of animals and other visuals were sketched or painted on walls of caves and nown known as Cave Paintings.
Many of these early cave paintings were painted in advance of a hunt where the artist was visually experiencing the hunting conquest in advance as a form of 'visioning' their future.
Researching Vision Board History: Best-selling author Joyce Schwarz, THE VISION BOARD book by Harper Collins Publishing which has sold 75,000 copies explains that she may just be the first person who ever researched the derivation of vision boards in history.
Date back to the Caveman era: Joyce explains that she found the ancient art of visioning traces back to the Cave Man/Woman era and can also be connected to such eras as:
*EARLY EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPHICS and symbols on jewels, scrolls, parchments and of course tombs and more.
*South Pacific and Native American Petroglyphs and other symbolic carvings and designs on stones, pottery and even body designs.
*Heraldry and Coat of Arms dating back to the Middle ages and the early Royal family crests.
*Illuminated Manuscripts show relationships to imagery that connects to personalized design and symbols.
*Asian seals also known as Chops or Inken have been used for many centuries by the Chinese, Japanese and other groups.
*DaVinci Era and Renaissance paintings and decorative arts all included customized personal designs and even hidden symbols.
*Military and Sport symbols and designs date back centuries and often indicate rank and heroism.
*Tradesmen and Craftspersons created images that identified their shops and professions to all people even those who could not read.
*Victoriania research shows early inspiration boards or pin boards that would hold memorabilia and early visions of family or travel that the creator envisioned.
*Treasure maps and Early Gold Rush designs show connection to alternate paths that the adventurer can follow to fulfill his visions!
*Early Cinema tracing back to the 1890's and early 19th Century show basic story boards and vision-scapes to see the cinematic outcomes in advance of filming.
*Around the globe steam trains and other forms of early transport were often decorated with scenes of where they would travel even before the routes were ready for ticket sales.
*Silk screens and calligraphy often depict not real scenes but those from the imagination of the artist and many feature symbolism that can be interpreted differently by each viewer.
*By the 1950's WALT DISNEY was visioning a new future for all of us -- where entertainment and immersion into a simulated environment of Disney Land through is own visionary drawings, designs and early vision boards. More fanciful than blueprints these 4-color versions are visions that came to life!
