Description
This is the FIRST of a six-part series on Art Therapy Four Instructors were involved in the making of this course and in each case their work is featured with their own analysis
The good thing is that if you enrol on just ONE of the courses in the series - and complete it - then you can enrol in the next 'episode' for free. Then the next, then the next - until you have completed the series
PLUS on completion you will receive the Triple Star Oxford Diploma which is the highest level award I give on my courses.
For this first in the series course the following topics are covered
Using art therapy to analyse yourself
Analysing your doodles
Analysing collages
Analysing abstract art
We also look at poetry and consider the work of
John Berger
Harold Rosenberg
Arthur C Danto
Throughout the course the emphasis is on YOUR WORK; YOU doing the exercises, learning as you go along The more you participate in the Q/A, the more you will learn - and the more you will enjoy the course - all six in the series
Remember: do not rush - you have a long way to go That said, each course is also a standalone course You have Lifetime Access so you could complete the course and not start the next one (for free) until next year
It is your choice
You are in control
Note: The Triple Gold Star Diploma is NOT from a University. It is a Diploma of Achievement and does NOT make you an Art Therapist. To become an Art Therapist takes 3-6 years and involves education to degree level.
Who this course is for:
- Aspiring Art Therapists
- Anyone seeking to learn about themselves

Almost Random Theatre is a theatre company started in 2012. After putting on plays at Oxford and Brighton fringes, taking actors to Poland and Czech Republic, selling plays to schools, putting on many short plays in Oxford, visiting 60+ schools and running 'drama days' it was decided to...slow down.
The theatre's main contribution now is helping with numerous Art Therapy courses.

Oxford School of Learning was set up in 1986. It became a limited company which was then closed down around 2018 as there was no need to keep it going. The School kept going though, writing/providing books, online courses and issuing the Oxford School of Learning Diploma to those who met difficult criteria.
As the name suggests, Oxford School of Learning is based in Oxford, UK. The original Principal was Chris Sivewright who now delivers various Economics and Business courses for us.
