Understand your emotions and let go of what’s holding you back with this empowering art therapy card deck.

Guided Art Therapy Card Deck allows you to use art as therapy, focusing on the inherent healing power of art making to manage anxiety and stress, improve self-esteem, and deepen your relationships with others and your inner self. In this deck of 75 activities, you’ll explore a wide range of artistic mediums, including painting, drawing, writing, collage, photography and digital art, sculpture, and mixed media, with each activity designed to be created using limited supplies. While traditional art therapy requires sessions facilitated by a professional licensed therapist, these activities and reflection questions, developed by licensed art therapist Emily Sharp, LCAT, ATR-BC, allow you to have a healing experience with art on your own, at your own pace.

This guided deck contains: 

  • 75 unique activities suitable for experts and novices alike, including a full-color reference photo of each completed creation
  • Thoughtful reflection questions accompanying each activity to prompt insight, self-awareness, and self-compassion, and increase feelings of happiness and gratitude 
  • Detailed instructional cards, including benefits, supply lists, step-by-step instructions, and estimated time commitments for each activity  
  • Color-coded cards to help you choose your activity based on the supplies you have handy for the varied artistic mediums, with ranging complexity levels and time commitments for each medium 
  • A concise guide booklet included with the deck, including a complete supply list, advice for getting started, a brief history of art therapy, and two indexes, listing every activity by medium and by topic so you can easily find the right activity for any given moment
