PRE-ART THERAPY

We know the inherent tranquillity that comes when you create. Art making not only informs but soothes and mends. The ability to give peace of mind comes at the cost of knowing turmoil, but without such things our stories would be bland at best.

Pre-Art Therapy is an exciting and ambitious combination of both Art and Psychology studies that prepare you for the world of counseling. Thorough explorations of art making alongside knowledge of how we think and do, Pre-Art Therapy offers a experience like no other major. In your time you will begin know what it means to walk along side people and use what you know about art to inform and better their lives as well as your own.
