Topic for Jan 2026 Semester:
Introduction to Art as Therapy

Welcome to 'Introduction to Art as Therapy,' a course specifically crafted for undergraduate students seeking to explore the therapeutic dimensions of art creation and self-care. In this unique educational experience, students will actively immerse themselves in the creative process, akin to being participants in a group art therapy session.

Students will embark on a personal journey of self-discovery, guided by activities such as maintaining individual art journals for deep self-reflection and experimenting with a variety of art mediums. The goal is to cultivate self-awareness and a profound understanding of the healing potential of artistic expression. Regular group discussions and engaging collaborative activities will be integral to this transformative experience, fostering a shared learning environment that encourages students to express themselves genuinely.
