Autumn Term Portfolio Building
Directed Experiential Workshops
Self-Discovery through Art & Mask Making
23rd September – 25th November 2014

Fee: Per 10 week term: £195
Claremont Project in co-operation with the British Association of Art Therapists has developed
a series of courses especially designed for those wanting to develop their skills and portfolios
for future art or art psychotherapy training. Run by both artists and art psychotherapists, these
courses aim not only to build strong portfolios but to develop knowledge of a range of art
materials, fine observational skills and aesthetic reflection - all key tools for the practicing art
psychotherapist.
The Autumn course will encourage a personal journey through a series of guided art therapy
and explorative art making exercises. The course aims to develop your ability to reflect on your
own art making process and to enhance your understanding of the role art can play in personal
development. It will focus on aesthetic experimentation and the material qualities of paint.
