Course description

🎨 Discover the Transformative Power of Art Therapy

Art Therapy combines creativity with personal growth, offering a journey that taps into your innate ability to express and heal through art. This course is grounded in the belief that each of us has a wellspring of creativity, waiting to be harnessed as a tool for self-discovery and change. By engaging in artistic expression, you’ll foster deeper self-connection, personal development, and authentic self-expression. Join our community and experience the healing power of art, enhancing resilience, well-being, and a sense of connectedness.

🚀 Help Others Find Healing Through Art

Imagine using art as a language of healing for yourself and those around you. In a world where stress and emotional challenges are constant, Art Therapy offers a calming, expressive outlet that doesn’t rely on words alone. Whether it’s painting, sketching, or creative writing, art therapy provides a safe, non-judgmental space for emotional release and self-discovery. Backed by research, art therapy has been shown to alleviate stress, enhance focus, and improve mental health, making it an invaluable tool for wellness.

📖 A Comprehensive, Creative Curriculum

Our course covers the foundations of Art Therapy through a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical techniques. You’ll explore the psychology of art and learn to use artistic methods to guide others toward emotional balance and resilience. Each module introduces new artistic forms—whether painting, crafting, or music—and teaches you how to tailor these to different emotional needs. By the end of the course, you’ll have the skills and certification to bring the transformative power of art therapy into your personal and professional life.

👀 Who Should Enroll?

This course is ideal for anyone passionate about personal development and holistic wellness, including coaches, counselors, therapists, and educators. No artistic experience is necessary—just a willingness to explore the healing potential of creativity. As a certified Therapeutic Arts Practitioner, you’ll be equipped to guide others through meaningful emotional journeys, helping them overcome challenges and express their authentic selves through the language of art.

Course syllabus

Module 1: PSYCHOLOGY, A FEW BASIC NOTIONS

Before delving into the heart of the discipline of art therapy, we will examine the basics of psychology. This will allow you to understand your patients’ problems better, how to deal with them, and the inner resources available to them.

In this first module, you will discover :

  • The history of psychology
  • The principles that guide this discipline
  • The link between philosophy and psychology
  • A practical exercise: the family portrait

Module 2: THE BRAIN, NEUROSCIENCE AND ART THERAPY

This second module is still mostly theoretical. We will first examine how our brains work and can be affected by various disorders. We will then focus on a broad definition of art therapy: a therapy through art that aims to mobilize the patient’s inner resources.

This module will cover :

  • The creation of ideas
  • The origin of dysfunctions and pathologies
  • The relationship with neuroscience
  • The history of art therapy and its origin
  • The humanist approach to psychology

Module 3: THE EVOLUTION OF ART THERAPY

Now that we’ve covered the basics, we’ll get to the heart of the matter: art therapy. It is about understanding how art can be therapeutic, the basic concepts that govern this discipline, and how it has changed over time.

Here is what you will see in this module :

  • The connection between art and creativity
  • The beginnings of art therapy
  • When it was first recognized by science
  • The Rorschach test
  • Expressive art therapy

Module 4: COLORS, CONSCIOUSNESS AND MEDITATIVE ARTISTIC PRACTICES

This module focuses on an essential notion with which you will work throughout the course: color. What it expresses is subjective, which is what makes it worthwhile to us. We will examine the different attributes of color, including its expressive abilities and how it works on emotions and feelings.

In this fourth module, you will discover :

  • Conscious art
  • Coloring and mindfulness
  • Mandalas
  • Zentangles
  • The theory of colors
  • Practical exercises

Module 5: ART THERAPY AND PATHOLOGIES

This module will help you better know your patients by working on the pathologies that may affect them. We will paint a portrait of the primary disorders you may encounter and how art therapy can provide answers.

This module will cover the following points :

  • Cognitive behavioral therapy
  • Addiction and art therapy
  • Trauma and art therapy
  • Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and art therapy
  • Depression and art therapy
  • Cancer and art therapy
  • Art therapy when experiencing stress and negative emotions

Module 6: DIFFERENT MODALITIES FOR DIFFERENT AUDIENCES

Even if some people may have the same objectives because of their pathology, everyone is unique. In addition, specific audiences, such as children and the elderly, require special attention. We will work on the different modalities and how to address each of these groups.

You will discover in this module :

  • Individual therapies
  • Group therapy
  • The aging process
  • How you can work with a specific audience
  • Precautions to be taken
  • Exercises

Module 7: SETTING UP A SESSION

Now that you have the necessary concepts in mind let’s get down to the practicalities. This module focuses on the four stages of an art therapy session: the beginning, the artistic activity, the exchange that follows, and the end, each giving you the keys to building a successful session.

This module will cover :

  • The context and setting of a session
  • The notion of routine
  • The work to be done before and after
  • Relaxation and warm-up exercises
  • Your role as an art therapist
  • Examples of sessions
  • Practical exercises

Module 8: ARTISTIC MEDIUMS AND ACTIVITIES

This last module is, above all, an assortment of activities! It presents one by one the different mediums that you can use, explaining their benefits, and each time suggesting suitable art therapy exercises that you can quickly set up.

In this module, you will discover :

  • A catalog of activities by artistic medium
  • How to choose your activities
  • Painting, drawing
  • Sculpture, modeling
  • Writing, theater
  • Photography, collages, multimedia activities
  • Dance and music

Passionate About Art Therapy & Creative Healing

I’m currently studying to become an Art Therapy Practitioner, and the journey has been incredibly insightful. This course is deepening my understanding of how creativity can be a powerful tool for healing, self-expression, and personal growth. I'm also learning about different conditions affecting the elderly, such as dementia, and exploring ways to support them through art. At the same time, I’m gaining knowledge on how to work with children, using creative methods to encourage emotional expression and development. I hope to integrate these learnings into my work as a craft instructor and author, creating meaningful experiences that inspire and empower people of all ages. Excited to see where this journey takes me!

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I sign up for a course?

Just pick the course you’re interested in and click “Add to cart.” When you’re ready, head to the checkout and complete your payment. You’ll get a confirmation email right away. If you want a printed certificate, you can choose that during checkout too!

How long does it take to complete a course?

That really depends on how many pages you go through per day or week, and of course, on your previous experience. The course is completely online and self-paced, so there are no deadlines. Once you’ve purchased the course, you’ll have lifetime access to all the material. It’s made up of several modules, some are lighter, while others a bit heavier. For most students, completing the entire course takes around 40 hours.

If I need help with the course, can I ask a question?

Yes, absolutely. The student forum is available for this purpose, you can post your questions and either a mentor or another student will get back to you, usually within 48 hours (excluding weekends and holidays). And feel free to share your wins too!

I can’t log in or forgot my password, what should I do?

Start by checking your inbox and spam folder for your login email, especially if it’s your first time logging in. Make sure you're using the same email address you used when signing up and that you're on the correct website. If needed, click “Forgot Password?” on the login page and follow the steps to reset it. If the email doesn't arrive, double-check your spam folder and try again. Still having trouble? Just reach out to our support team at [email protected], we're happy to help and usually respond within 48 hours (excluding weekends and holidays). We recommend saving your login details when you receive your registration email to avoid any issues later on.

Do I need to attend anything live, or can I study whenever it suits me?

The entire course takes place online and is fully self-paced, so you can study whenever it suits you best. There are no trips, workshops, or live classes required. You’ll get access to course modules as downloadable PDFs, audio files, and in some cases, videos. You study independently in your own time, and if you have any questions, you’re always welcome to ask them in the forum.

How am I assessed during the course?

You’ll find short quizzes at the end of each module to help you reflect on what you’ve learned, they’re NOT graded and are just for your own understanding. At the end of the course, there’s a final multiple-choice exam that is graded. You’ll need to score at least 80% to pass. Don’t worry, if you do not achieve 80% your first time, you can retake the exam at any time.

Are there any prerequisites?

There are no prerequisites or minimum educational requirements. All our courses are carefully designed to be accessible to as many people as possible. You can study from a computer, tablet, or smartphone. If your internet connection is unstable, we recommend downloading the PDF modules and audio files so you can access them offline whenever it suits you. Just keep in mind that you’ll need an internet connection to complete the quizzes and take the final exam.

Do I receive a certificate at the end of the course?

You will receive a printed certificate if you selected that option during registration. Otherwise, you can order it later at any time from your student portal under the "Certificates" section – OR download it for free as a PDF.

Are your certificates officially accredited, or are they just for personal development?

The professions for which our courses prepare you are part of the unregulated occupations in most countries. This means there is no official recognition. However, local regulations may vary. We recommend that you inquire with the relevant authorities. Our courses are designed to provide essential foundational knowledge, making them an excellent starting point for anyone looking to enter a new field or expand their expertise. They equip you with practical skills and a deep understanding of the subject matter, enabling you to either begin your career or enhance your existing expertise in a cost-effective way. Our courses are accredited by respected international organisations. That said, the fields we train for aren’t regulated in most countries, so recognition can vary depending on where you live. It’s always a good idea to double-check with local authorities if you're unsure.

Why are the courses sometimes discounted so much?

We believe that quality education should be accessible to everyone, not just a privilege for a few. From time to time, we offer significant discounts to open the door for more people to learn, grow, and discover new opportunities. It’s part of our mission to make personal and professional development more inclusive, regardless of budget.
