Online Art Therapy Experiential (OATE) Workshops 2021

As we navigate a second year into the pandemic, the challenges to our mental wellbeing continues while we learn to live with the virus in an attempt to return to normalcy. In celebration of World Mental Health Awareness Month, The Red Pencil (Singapore) invites you to another round of Online Art Therapy Experiential (OATE) Workshops where we discover ways and strategies of coping with the pandemic and its impact on our personal, family, social and work lives. Through the workshops facilitated by certified and registered art therapists, participants are invited to draw upon the collective experiences of positivity, resilience and inner strengths of people who have strove through the global pandemic. These one-time experiential workshops aim to raise awareness and understanding of the practice of art therapy by offering participants a taster of what art therapy is and a chance of engaging with therapeutic art activities.

The minimum age for adult participants is 18 years old, while the child under the caregiver-and-child dyad workshop should be at least 7 years old. Participants need not have prior artistic skills or talents, but will need the specified materials required for each workshop.

Each workshop costs S$5. The fee does not include provision of art materials and participants are required to gather these materials themselves. A minimum number of 5 participants is required for a workshop to commence. Participants will be informed about the payment process when the minimum sign-up number is reached.

For all workshops, a device with working camera, audio and microphone function and access to internet is necessary. Participants are expected to join on time and complete the whole session.
