Week Four: Collage the Card
This week we are going to focus on one card. Shuffle the deck, feel its texture as you do. Select a card. This week you are going to do an art activity involving this card...it can be collage, sketching, painting or any thing of an artistic nature. Creating taps into a whole different part of you.
If you decide to do collage:
Find three or four magazines and flip through the pages thinking about your card. Are there images or words that seem to “jump out” at you that might be related to this card? Quickly cut or tear them out. Do not think about them at this point. If you do not have magazines look for images on line that you can print. Later create a collage with these images and words. Display it alongside the card for at least a few days so you can look at it and reflect.
You might find it useful to use the SoulCollage format (after you do the collage or art):
Who are you?
I am the one who....
What do you have to give me?
I give you.....
What do you want from me?
I want.....
Is there anything else you have to say to me today?
My message is.....
You can see an example of the format:

A different way to do this activity is to sketch or paint and write about your card but use images and not just words! Perhaps write a poem about the card and add a picture.
Post here about what you learned through the collage/art process about this particular card. How did it speak to you?
