A few tips on enjoying the workshop...
Dress casually and comfortably. We will be using art materials like paint and clay so bring
an apron if you wish.
When you are finished with an art therapeutic exercise feel free to walk around to see the
art expressions of other participants. You'll be delighted, surprised and intrigued by what people create!
We alternate between a power-point presentations of clinical information, hands-on
art therapeutic exercises and discussion of participants art works. There is a rhythm established that makes the workshop
a unique learning and sharing experience. Enjoy!
The workshop is
dynamic and highly interactive. Group interaction is encouraged and questions are taken at anytime. It is better to ask
questions as they occur instead of waiting until breaks or lunch.
If you are currently working with a child or
adolescent who creates challenging art images Catherine is available for a brief consultation during the
workshop. Please contact her through info@paintedchild.com in advance to arrange a time.
Catherine will be available during breaks,
lunch or after the Workshop to speak with folks interested in art therapy education and the credential process in becoming
an Art Therapist.
Any questions or comments are very welcome. We want everyone to enjoy our time
together!
