Do you want a long, detailed course where there is a high level of Instructor interaction, lectures are added to (there are 799 already) there are numerous manuals and the Q/A is very very active?

YOU HAVE LIFETIME ACCESS – do not rush through this. This is an Art THERAPY course and so the emphasis is less on the ART but more on the Art THERAPY i.e. the process.

116 hours of lectures – plus workbooks, plus exercises – and literally THOUSANDS of discussions! This is a course where sharing ideas, thoughts and artwork is always, always encouraged.

Important notice: Much of the information, case studies and examples of Art Therapy in this course are nowhere else on the internet. So a lot of this work (but not all) is ORIGINAL. Where appropriate, published studies are referenced and websites linked to. (There is also a LINKS BOOKLET which includes all the links and you can then add to with the links given in the many posts in Q/A)

Another real strength of this course is the degree of participation in the Q/A section as people show how they really enjoy studying on this course, posting examples of artwork and their responses (and interpretation) of Art Therapy exercises. Questions are quickly commented on and the overall ethos is to share and learn, enjoy, comment and encourage.

The course is comprised of:

· 33 sections (Joy of Art Therapy, 31 day course in Art Therapy…)

· 799 lectures (WATCHING art used as therapy; DOING art as therapy; READING studies about Art Therapy)

· 115 hours (500+ exercises on Art Therapy)

· 17 workbooks (June Art Therapy Workbook; the Difficult Art Therapy Workbook)

· The Q/A ( 6000+ posts on Art Therapy – with many of them being the Art submitted by the thousands of students on the course!)

· Educational Announcements ( including Glasswork, latest developments in Art Therapy and many others)

This is a course unique on Udemy.

Not because of content – many courses have ‘therapy’ as part of the curriculum. What makes this course unique is the use of films and plays – in which the Instructor acts/writes/directs – that have been shown at festivals and/or performed in London UK, Poland, Czech Republic and at fringe festivals in the UK Also much of the artwork in lectures and workbooks is nowhere else on the internet!
