Course objectives
At the end of the course students should be able to discuss theoretical aspects of artetherapy, and use the developmental and symbolic perspectives to understand the form and content of artistic artefacts. They should be able to interpret autobiographical artistic work, and create their own works using different techniques in atelier. Students gain a general overview in pathological expressions, bio-psycho-social context of artetherapy, and imaginative techniques too.
