Art for Wellbeing

Course Content

Creativity is a human quality that exists in every single one of us.

This 10 hour course allows you to explore a range of creative projects which will help you to discover the benefits of being creative.

Evidence suggests that engaging in art helps to:

• Build self-awareness and coping skills
• Increase self-esteem and confidence
• Improve cognitive and motor function
• Reduce stress
• Strengthen communication and social skills.

Our aim is to empower you to develop your personal insight through creativity and self-expression.

Course Outcomes

Entry Requirements

• The course is not about talent or skills but about exploring the links between mental health and creativity. 

Assessment

• No Assessment.
• Tutor guidance throughout course.
• We believe in the art process over the product; that the wellbeing journey is far more powerful than the outcome on canvas.
