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 lecturesAn Art Therapy manual to further extend the courseA high level of Instructor-student interactionRegular Educational AnnouncementsThen there's the course itself. We cover:Using Abstract Painting (and interpretation) in Art Therapy sessionsApplying the themes of classics such as A Street Car named desire as a prompt for discussionDifferent interpretations (and application) of the work of Van GoghThe application of the work by Jackson Pollock, Salvador Dali and othersOver 50 tips to improve mental healthThe application of the music of Elizabeth Woolridge GrantThe application of 'The Sealwoman's Gift'Centrifugal artNumeracyThe work of Alfred ProvisAs you can see from the above this is an unusual course using unusual sources!Of course the ideas are based on sound research (as with the application of poetry) and students are encouraged to research widely - as well as self-explore.The key, though, to this course is the DOING. The DOING of the Art Therapy exercises; the joining in of discussions; using familiar situations as prompts for mental health benefits.This is a course to be watched, applied, enjoyed, used and then reflected on.
