Art - Principles of Art Therapy - Crawford College of Art & Design

The programme offers an introduction to the core principles of Art Therapy – boundaries, the image, self-inquiry, process and the triangular relationship. Through experiential workshops, lectures and seminars, the course aims to provide a deeper understanding of the art therapy process.

Applicants will be invited to attend an interview, with examples of their work, in order to ensure that there is a good match between their aspirations and the course. Interview Guidelines Please bring about 5-8 pieces of your own art work to interview. The purpose of the portfolio is to help us gain an understanding of your own art practice and engagement with art materials. The selection can be actual pieces, photographs, or documents from other digital media. What is RPL? Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is when formal recognition is given for what you already know prior to starting on a programme or module. With recognition of prior learning the focus is on learning and not on experience as such. You can apply for RPL in any MTU accredited programme or module. Programmes which are accredited by professional bodies or any external awarding bodies may have their own procedures for RPL which you should refer to.
