Autumn Term Portfolio Building Directed Experiential Workshops Self-Discovery through Art & Mask Making 23rd September – 25th November 2014 Tuesday Evenings, 7 – 9pm Claremont Project, 24-27 White Lion Street, London, N1 9PD 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.
