Why art is needed in our lives?

I started drawing as a hobby.Hobby turned into a profession to earn an art degree.I worked as an art teacher.I started my own art classes and business services.I was always thinking to do an art therapy course also as an added qualification. I saw “scholistico” is offering online courses which is perfect suited for my timings. I learned what I wanted to learn from this course material.

Worthwhile with some caveats

A few areas that I would have liked to have seen presented with a bit more care to correct detail of theory and unbiased presentation of clients (pronouns, cultural tropes). It would help for the video portion to include imagery related to the lesson rather than just a ppt. Overall, the course covers a comprehensive view of art therapy within theoretical and adaptive lenses.

Healing part of the human elemant mind.

As an art therapist, the career is often described as incredibly rewarding and purposeful, offering a unique way to help people heal and express emotions that words alone cannot capture—the joy of witnessing positive transformations and the fulfillment of guiding clients through a creative healing process. Art provides a unique connection to a "third space" for communication.
