The Arts Center’s award-winning washrooms put Sheboygan on the map for having the world’s best bathrooms, and the new facilities at the Art Preserve are no less impressive.
Create: Gratitude Pattern Card
Draw inspiration from the pattern and textures Michelle Grabner created for the walls of her washroom titled Patterns and Practicalities and create a personalized pattern to embellish the front of a thank you card.
Suggested list of materials:
– Blank paper or a pre-created blank card
– Pencil
– Ruler or straight edge
– Collage materials
– Drawing tools such as colored pencils or markers
– Instructions: digital or printed (PDF download available at the bottom of this page)
Step 1
First, think of someone you would like to thank. You might think of someone that has had a positive impact in your life or someone who is an important part of your community. Maybe it is someone who you haven’t thanked enough or have never shared gratitude with before.
Step 2
Come up with a pattern that you feel represents that person or a pattern that will spark joy when the person receives your card.
Step 3
Use a pencil and ruler to keep your pattern organized. Consider adding color with collage materials or drawing tools such as colored pencils or markers.
Step 4
Write a note inside sharing why they are an important person to you.
Step 5
Share your finished card with the person. If you don’t know how to connect with them, keep the card as a reminder of the positive impact we can have on those around us.
