This course aims at introducing general theories and practice of expressive arts. Students will experience how to use multiple art modalities such as drama, dance, visual arts, music, and poetry to help process emotions and explore new resources. Students will also learn how to design an intermodal expressive arts therapy session. The expressive therapy continuum will enable them to design and analyse art process at the kinaesthetic, sensory, perceptual, affective, cognitive, and symbolic levels. The course also aims at inspiring students to explore the possibilities to use different creative art modalities to work with children. The whole course will be carried out in a combination of experiential workshops and seminars to facilitate students to master different expressive arts skills.
