Art Languages And Expression
Outstanding artistic skill is not necessary for successful art therapy. However, whether feelings and messages can be effectively conveyed through art is significant in influencing the therapeutic effect. This course aims at enhancing your ability of art expression of own feelings, as well as effective use of the language of art. It covers the use of common drawing medias and recent trending art materials. You will be taught to understand more about your inner feeling, and connect your feeling with art, such that your feeling can be expressed by art effectively. This course does not require students to have superb art skills. Students will be trained to strengthen the ability of expressing inner feeling based on own drawing skill, such that they can better put their thoughts and feelings into painting, so as to equip themselves to implement art therapy.
