Bob Ross Art Therapy: Facilitating a therapeutic process through painting
Art Therapy is for everyone, regardless of your artistic experience and ability! Art therapy has been shown to be effective in improving self-confidence, concentration, and motor skills, as well as self-awareness and communication. Join UQ Counselling this University Mental Health Day for an Art Therapy Workshop inspired by Bob Ross' The Joy of Painting.
