Blogs resemble diaries, but with the benefit of web technology.  A blogger can post a written narrative
with digital photos, short video or audio, or links to other sites.  Readers can post their comments
onto a blog, assuming the blogger approves of the comments. Sometimes you need to give your email
address or name to submit a comment to a blog, and sometimes you can post anonymously.  Click on
one of the links below and learn about the wide world of cool art therapy blogs today!  Note:  if you
have trouble with the link, copy the address in the link below and then paste it into your browser

A few lucky Louisvillians were lucky enough to catch Lani Garity at the Buckeye Art Therapy
Association's 2007 Fall Symposium. She taught a workshop on puppet making and spoke about her
work with survivors of Hurricane Katrina in Mississippi.  Her terrific blog features poems, video clips,
and information about workshops that she offers all over the United States.  Lani has another page on
the fabulous art marketplace Artella features examples of her fabulous puppets and tips on puppet
making.  You can also purchase her 'zines, e-workshops, workbooks and more through the Artella
marketplace.  This might be a site of interests for those interested in selling their artwork online.

Elizabeth Beck's savvy site presents Beck's artwork, research, bio and her blog.  Her frequent postings
on her blog make it one of the best.  It features art therapy-related information ranging from art
therapy interventions to psychology podcasts to the use of art therapy with former jihadists.  A recent
graduate from Drexel University, Beck's site proffers food for thought and great resources for art
therapists and psychology geeks.

While this one is not actually an art therapy blog, it is an amazing burst of creative energy to get your
juices flowing.  While the site was originally designed as a project founder Ze Frank created for a NYU
graduate school course, the response was so overwhelming, the designer decided to let everyone in on
the fun in 2007.  Check out year two of thing-a-day where artists and regular people create one new
thing per day and blog about their creations, the creative process, and life.
