Students will explore the power and significance of art materials and how to work with various populations. Through the use of readings, lectures, discussions and art making, students will gain self-awareness through a reflective and introspective process. Students will explore clinical issues seen through commonly used contemporary theories & art therapy lenses, and gain insight into the universal nature of art, illustrating how clinical issues can be accessed, assessed and healed through the use of art and psychotherapy.
