OAL Organization and Management Course description

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and competence: 

Knowledge

The student:

• has acquired advanced knowledge of the common psychotherapeutic factors and change mechanisms in art therapy
• can describe the therapeutic components in creative art processes based on experiential learning and the theory of expressive therapies continuum

 Skills

The student:  

• can reflect art therapeutic process and its effects through personal experience of making and sharing various forms of art expression
• can utilize different traditional and digital art techniques and materials in the art therapeutic process
• can document and reflect the therapeutic change that takes place during art therapy process

• can critically reflect ethical aspects of the art therapeutic relationship, setting and its boundaries

  Competence

The student has a developed competence to:

• evaluate, value and implement different art therapeutic methods, and participate on reflective and ethical professional discussions
• use art-based research approach on exploring and studying art therapy process
• understand professional ethical principles and ability to reflect, evaluate and value their role in the art therapy relationship

The course is combining seminars at the campus and distant learning. Teaching and learning methods include lectures, workshops and skills training in the form of practical art therapeutic assignments.

Between the seminars, there will be digital lectures and the students will work on the art therapeutic assignment that will later be presented and discussed in group.

Skills training takes place in workshops. In professional experiential workshops, the focus is on simulating art therapeutic interaction to enable learning and reflection from the therapist perspective. In personal experiential workshops, students will explore and reflect art making and their own creative process from the client’s perspective.

Through the work in this course, the students will gain insight into areas of mathematics that are important to the modelling of technical and natural science systems and processes. The topics covered are included in engineering programmes across the world and are necessary in order to enable engineers to communicate professionally in an efficient and precise manner and participate in discussions in professional contexts later in the programme.
