The Art Therapy Masterclass, conducted for the Grade 12 Psychology students at Kothari International School, was a highly enriching and immersive experience. This workshop aimed to bridge the gap between theoretical learning and practical application, providing students with hands-on experience in exploring and expressing their emotions through various forms of art therapy.
