The instruction was solid however it was not inspiring. It was not engaging in a way I had hoped. It was basic and while it did give me an understanding of some important principals truly important to what art can do for stress. it was not fun. It was just too plain. The pictures were too small. I did appreciate the suggestions and simplicity of the lessons.

I'm back to the arts. After few year caring my ill father and managing his issues. I decided to left my profession of architect. I was unhappy with it slowly raised after the graduation the real work turned one hell. Nothing came in happiness so i get the curse to help calm down. No doodle for weeks get me very stressful. Now i will apply for me and later check everything that makes me happy. I had one chance to follow art therapy but at time my mom was ill. I couldnt afford since the only place at my city demanded paycheck paper to submit for one seat and the classes was at night. I live in Brazil and my mother language arent english. I forgot a little about the grammar.

Well, it was a good match for me to learn about art. therapy but I was expecting some more engaging art exercises in the learning process so that I could use the therapy for healing myself and use the practicals to infuse some better art work in learning. Even thou the course journals are informative.
By Charlotte Mortensen on 5/19/2020
I find the art section is to limited and cognitive - drawing inside the borders ...it seems directed at children. However this is not to be a critic. Just important to know what to expect. It is obviously important that the teacher does not intimidate the pupil. However it would be nice to have a little to aspire for though. The sections which IS to be cognitive (Change of perception and beliefs etc.) is fine.
By Josef Spiteri on 5/16/2020
It was a new experience for me as this was my first online course that I have carried out. It was informative and very efficient for me since I can use these exercises with other people in my work field. Looking forward to take another course with this company. thanks and regards to all.

I started this course as i love art and want to help people who are experiencing stress as disorder they have got! I m relishing the fun as well as changes in myself through the exercises learnt here! Happy me! Thank you udemy and my lovely mentors i got here! excited for upcoming learning processes!

Absolutely. Thus far it has elicited a very positive response in relation to the activities. There is a great balance between the theoretical and the practical approach on the course. The construction of the Mandalas was particularly useful not just in terms of colour analogy but also in terms of recognising different patterns that emerged and making sense of them. This last section was useful as an enabling tool to reassess and put in p place a realistic and reachable goal in the future not just on a mathematical or visual perspective but as a life tool to re focus and move forward with a more constructive plan.

I enjoyed the course, and also took the opportunity to improve my english. Therefore I missed a forum where instructors and participants could know each other and discuss relevant topics.
By Dian naylor on 1/11/2019
I really enjoyed the course, but was a little disappointed that I payed for this course after taking the Therapeutic Art therapy for life coaching together. ( as suggested by udemy) Both courses were the same and I felt like I spent money when I didn't need to. But over all it was a great course and I hope to apply both courses to my teaching in the future.
By Aubrey Prunty on 1/1/2019
This course is a great reminder of how all of these artistic and meditative practices can work together and why they are so important. Unfortunately, it was misleading in the Facebook advertisement as being something that could certify someone to do therapeutic art with others when it is actually more of an individual self-help course. It doesn't actually teach you to guide others at all. So that was a little disappointing. I would still like to learn how to present this material and gain more confidence in guiding others through some of these practices but I personally enjoyed of the construction and demonstrations in this course otherwise.
