THERAPEUTIC ART DRAWING COURSES
BAFA therapeutic courses are concerned with the therapeutic application of the arts and the creative imagination for a more fulfilling life, rather than purely for remedial use. We at BAFA believe a healthier society to be one in which the creative working through of emotional pain, within a safe and supportive arena, is not merely the property of a few psychologically-minded people, or restricted to the confines of the art gallery or theatre. It should be possible for many more people to process their feelings well, rather than simply managing them via neurotic means.
Drawing Art explores emotional landscape and view, and aspects of a person’s ‘seen world’ in terms of inner and outer world reality. The inter-relationships of size, shape, line, space, texture, shade, tone, colour and distance in a Drawing Art can reveal the reality of the self and we at BAFA have designed these Workshops to Linger in the Exploration of self.
