Course Description

Art Therapy Diploma Course

Art therapy “explores the emotional depths of the human experience, in a nonthreatening and easily accessible manner” that is both enjoyable and accessible to individuals with a diverse range of cognitive and physical abilities.

The art therapist uses the process of creating art to identify and explore the deepest feelings, and to employ art expression as the primary mode of communication, insight, and life enhancement.

Art as a mode of personal growth and understanding is not restricted just to those under formal art therapy. Individuals may use art as a primary language of expression without requesting or requiring involvement from a professional art therapist. Some therapeutic advantages of art can be accessed through more overtly therapeutic interventions.

Illustration is a natural mode of self-expression, culturally universal and easily accessible. It reflects thoughts and feelings and is often more eloquent than words.

The inherent healing properties of art have been revered throughout history. In the past several decades, art-making in mental health care has been incorporated into established research models and used to encourage self-exploration, self-expression, and personal empowerment.

Art therapy has been shown to have a positive impact on the quality of life for people in a variety of circumstances, including breast cancer patients, children with HIV/AIDS-affected families, and recovery from traumatic brain injury. The work described here stems from collaborative research conducted across disciplines and across institutional boundaries.

Since life has no boundaries, the applications of art in therapy are limitless. When making art in the safety of therapeutic borders, one can speak through creativity without whispering a word, reinforcing connections discovered through actions, thoughts, and feelings.

No one professional set can provide universally skillful guidance yet the creation of any art by any human being no matter the age gives evidence of the soul’s dance and the spirit’s song. The number of tools in a therapist’s toolkit and personal commitment to continue learning has few limitations.

To understand the possibilities of art in healing, its historical antecedents, the caring individuals who first described the emotional and spiritual need and shaped the art therapy profession, those who profit from creative activities, and the practitioners who blend art education with psychoanalysis and family therapy need to be explored.
