Art Therapy for Mental Health

This is a course – as the title says – about using Art Therapy to improve Mental Health. There are several key aspects to this course as follows:

• The lectures themselves – to be expected. But there are two Instructors, one of whom has submitted her own artwork for this course.
• Many extra Art Therapy exercises that are attached as individual resources to lectures
• An Art Therapy manual to further extend the course
• A high level of Instructor-student interaction
• Regular Educational Announcements

Then there’s the course itself. We cover:

• Using Abstract Painting (and interpretation) in Art Therapy sessions
• Applying the themes of classics such as A Street Car named desire as a prompt for discussion
• Different interpretations (and application) of the work of Van Gogh
• The application of the work by Jackson Pollock, Salvador Dali and others
• Over 50 tips to improve mental health
• The application of the music of Elizabeth Woolridge Grant
• The application of ‘The Sealwoman’s Gift’
• Centrifugal art
• Numeracy
• The work of Alfred Provis

As you can see from the above this is an unusual course using unusual sources!
