Art Therapy Journal is a place to store your insights from art therapy lessons. It is important to track your progress, reflect on your journey, and revisit valuable lessons when needed.
Physical Art Therapy Journal
Purpose: Keep a specific journal or notebook dedicated solely to your art therapy sessions. This can be a physical notebook or a digital journal, depending on your preference.
Organization: You can date each entry and write down key insights, reflections, emotions, and thoughts that arise during or after your sessions. Include visual elements like sketches, doodles, or photos of your artwork.
Benefits: A dedicated journal helps you keep all your insights in one place, making it easy to track your progress and review your experiences over time.
Digital Storage (Apps and Software)
Apps: Use digital note-taking apps of your choice to store your insights. The app allows you to organize your thoughts in folders, add images of your artwork, and tag entries for easy retrieval.
Cloud Storage: Store scanned images of your art and written reflections in cloud services. This ensures your insights are backed up and accessible from any device.
Benefits: Digital storage is portable, easy to organize, and allows for multimedia integration. It’s also secure and can be password-protected.
Personal Blog or Private Website
Purpose: If you prefer a more public or semi-public approach, consider creating a blog or private website where you document your art therapy journey. This can be especially meaningful if you want to share your insights with others or reflect on them over time.
Platform: You can use platforms for blogging, or even a private Instagram account.
Benefits: A digital blog or website allows for a creative and interactive way to store and revisit your insights. It also offers the opportunity to connect with others on similar journeys.
