Artist Trading
Cards
An Art Therapy Directive
Materials:
Card Stock Scissors Glue Sticks
Magazines Different decorative items
Concept:
Creating
art can be stressful sometimes. That is why making a “little piece of art” may
not be so overwhelming. In this directive you will decorate a baseball-sized
card that you can trade with your friends, family, or even acquaintances from
around the world.
Procedures:
Take the
card stock and cut it in to rectangles of 2 ½ x 3 ½ inches (63 mm X 89 mm). On one side, glue
images from magazines for a collage or paint/draw what you would like; creating
a little piece of art. On the back side, give the card a “Title” at the top,
and then a description of what the card means to you, under the title.
Personalize the theme so that it is something special or important to you.
Finish the card by placing your signature at the bottom, along with the date.
Either keep the card for your personal collection or trade it with someone else
who is doing trading cards also.
Reflection/Processing
Questions:
1) What was it like
to create your own little piece of art work?
2) How does it feel
to be able to trade it with someone that appreciates your art creation?
3) What sorts of
ideas do you have for your next artist trading card?
Expressive Outcome
Possibilities:
1) Person(s) will be
able to be creative and expressive.
2) Person(s) will be
able to explore and experience different art media.
3) Person(s) will be
able to increase their sense of self-worth and value.
4) Person(s) will be
able to connect with others and reach out in healthy ways to share.

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
