What's on
The Art For Wellbeing Certificate course is a self-paced, online course in how to use art to boost wellbeing and mental health. It uses a method called Paint Your Mind, developed during a project funded by an Arts Council England Developing Your Creative Practice grant. This highlights five building blocks, all equally important. Together they explore how to use art to root us in life, to ground us when we struggle, to express how we feel, to absorb us in the moment, and to connect us in community.
The course begins with an introductory unit, exploring how and why art is so beneficial. Each of the five units which follow focuses on a different building block in turn, with an overview of that approach, questions to consider, suggestions of flexible ideas to use in practice, and two art activity ideas with example images.
Note: the course can be started at any time from October 2024 onwards. Date given is only an example.
