Studio Art Therapy

Thursday 06.09.05 – 08.11.05, 5:30-8:30pm

3CEUs, $395

We call ourselves art therapists, but when do we make art? Creative

expression promotes healing and empowers the human spirit. Each person

holds the inherent capacity for creative expression. For some, this is a

well-developed part of their lives, while for others it is a pursuit

waiting to be re-awakened. Take time to develop and nurture your

creative spirit. Join other artists and art therapists in studio work

this summer. Combining an open studio and thematic approach, with

multimedia exercises designed to heighten perception and sensory

awareness, this course will help you connect with your personal and

artistic identity. While designed for art therapists, the course is open

to all.
