Favicards and Art Therapy Alliance On The Go Project

Posted on: July 28th, 2011

California Favicard
Art Therapy Alliance On The Go is a project that Art Therapy Social Media Goddess, Gretchen Miller, launched last month that will promote social media and networking in Art Therapy. I just received my Art Therapy Alliance Favicard in the mail and am looking forward to seeing how creative I can be! What is a Favicard you ask? Well it’s basically Favicards, are business cards for your social network.

This project includes creating an image of the Art Therapy Alliance Favicard card “on the go” (think Flat Stanley, but of course with a high dose of creativity). This project will showcase the work of individuals and groups about the work they do, including their passion and focus. The image of Gumby and his Favicard is from the Rev. Patti Goldstein in Oakland, California who is an art therapist and artist in private practice. She specializes in art therapy with children and adolescents. I can’t wait to figure out my creative “On The Go” image. Take care,
Laura

Lisa Kokin: An artist and self-help books

Through my linked in groups via The Art Therapy Alliance I found out about Lisa Kokin. Lisa is a mixed media artist in California who had an exhibit where she took self help books and transformed them into art. Her pieces in a recent exhibit are beautiful. I have long been fascinated with altered books, their use and the transformative power of reworking material in art and society.
We are always looking for ways to transform ourselves, our experiences and our lives. I think Lisa Kokin found a use for all those self-help books that promise to make us better.
