Course structure:
Every week students on the Full-Time and Practice & Discourse Part-Time options have weekly tutorials with Metàfora’s experienced In-house Tutors, who are also established artist professionals themselves.
Every week we expose the student to different currents in Recent Art History. These lectures are followed by dynamic debate-seminars where students are encouraged to build a personal discourse informed by what is happening today in Contemporary Art.
Every Studio Block starts with a new theme-based project. The idea behind this is to help the individual studio-practice of every student. Each theme-based project ends with a work review where students present the work produced.
Every Studio Block offers a series of programmed classes in different tools & techniques, covering common techniques within graphic expression such as painting as well as 3 dimensional work.
There are case presentations of the course tutors’ clinical work with different clients. Alongside this presentations, workshops are an excellent occasion to see how creative methods are practically applied in Art Therapy, and how art therapy is implemented with different user groups.
The best way to learn art therapy is from within. Experiential groups, or “training groups”, are the essence of art therapy training around the globe, and form the space in which the different teachings of the course become truly meaningful. Our methodology is based on specific ideas about the dynamics of groups in which art is used as a tool. As this type of group is similar to a therapy group, this allows the student to experience this aspect of an Art Therapy career from the participant’s perspective.
The importance of the art making process entered the art scene for the first time in the early 60’s, soon afterwards Art Therapy also pointed at the art making process as a relevant element of the art experience. Ever since the creative process has become an essential part of any art training.
The course offers both a number of theoretical classes run by art therapists and psychologists. Here, the main concepts of process work is distilled from Art Therapy and psychology.
Metàfora is an independent institution, however, its Studio Arts Program operate according to habitual university-level accreditation norms. Short term students can request a detailed transcript by the end of their stay. The transcript is issued only to students whose attendance to the course complies with formal attendance-indications.
The transcript reflects hours (ECTS credits) and grades of all the classes which the student has attended. The transcript also reflects studio work and programmed activities like Art History and presentations.
Credits are calculated according to ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System), where 1 ECTS credit equals 25 hours of the sum of lective hours + homework. As in all universities and schools for further education in Europe, a full time academic year counts 60 ECTS. This includes all education activities, individual studio practice, writing and academic work, exhibiting and preparing final dissertation (3rd year project).
Classes, for which the student has been absent for more than 20% will not appear in the transcript.
Places for the course are limited. A spot in the course is not guaranteed until payment is made. The course fees are paid at different moments and are divided into different concepts:
