FREE Online Visual Arts and Health Course

The University of Tasmania offers a FREE online course in "The Art of Wellness: Visual Arts and Health" which explores personal and community health and wellness strategies using visual arts mediums.

Each online module showcases the applied use of creative visual practices including drawing and painting, photography and sculpture in healthcare settings. The short course is designed to introduce you to a range of practices that promote focus and connectedness to ourselves, our relationships and the world around us.

You will learn how these practices are used in clinical assessments, expressive therapies and community healthcare initiatives. Central to your learning are many hands-on visual arts activities including contour drawing, mandala making, photography exercises, clay sculpture and assemblage, aimed at introducing the key principles of visual arts based practices in healthcare.
