What is your own special

SUPER POWER?

Remember! Art Therapy is a time to

• relax, enjoy yourself, focus on your strengths

• express your personality and how you like to make art

• there is no right or wrong way, no good or bad way, just your way!

We have suggested these steps to make your own SUPER POWER art work.

If you would rather mix up the order that is OK too – remember there is no right or wrong way – just your way.

Step 1:

What are our SUPER POWERS?

• EG: listening, empathy, gaming, cooking, caring, loving animals, swimming, dressing up

• Let’s have a conversation about your own special SUPER POWER

• Carers have a conversation with the young person and help identify their unique super power and write it down on coloured paper.

Step 2:

• Select your canvas

• Choose three colours that you like

• Paint your background using your chosen colours

Step 3:

• Add in shapes and texture with prints and stencils

Step 4:

• Write your words on coloured paper with sharpies “My Super-Power is …”

• *Optional* draw a picture of yourself using your super power

Step 5:

• Glue your images and decorations onto your canvas

Step 6:

• Add any more embellishments you would like

Step 7:

• Show and tell – photo time
