Course Description:

'' Art therapy is a human service profession through which the client is offered an opportunity to explore personal problems and develop emotional, physical, or learning skills through therapeutic art experiences. Central to art therapy is the use of the creative process within any person as a means for reconciling emotional conflicts, and for fostering self-awareness and personal growth. Art processes, forms, content and symbolic associations are recognized as reflections of a person’s development, abilities, and concerns.
