In this course we explore ways to use painting to connect with your inner-self to support emotional well-being, self-compassion, self-worth, self-expression and personal insight.
This course is carried out in a safe environment and in an ethical, and supportive manner.
Learning Objectives
Use art to explore and express emotional, cognitive, and somatic experiences
(eg. sadness, anger, joy, fear).
​
You are not here to create a beautiful painting or to demonstrate your skills; the goal is expression and exploration.
​
You will gain new perspectives and problem-solving skills through artistic exploration.
​
You will understand that art is a safe space where we can experiment, take risks, fail and learn to fix our mistakes - building resilience.
​
Through art we generate many ideas - so when things go wrong, we have other ideas to fall back on.
​
Something might not work out exactly as you planned. But, analysing what you did, experimenting and playing can lead to new insights and help build confidence to try again.
​
Nothing is set in stone; we can change or re-start at any time.
​
You will realise that painting can take our minds off things, making space for artistic expression, based on our own emotions, while leaving the world outside.
​
You will develop tools to reflect on personal creative processes and develop self-awareness and emotional regulation; maybe you’ll continue at home or at a follow-up class…
