Presentation on the theoretical principles of VPMT in working with a specific client/patient. 4. At the end of the study course, evaluate the study course.
Assessment Criteria:

Evaluation criteria: 1) Conformity of the set goals in art therapy; 2) Basic principles in working with the specific client/patient group or disorder; 3) Basic principles in art therapy specialization in working with the specific client/patient group or disorder; 4) Presentation of work (references, etc.) and academic language (use of terms, etc.); 5) Content and appropriateness of the art therapy plan for 10 sessions. It is possible to get 0-2 points for fulfilling each criterion. 0 points – the criterion is not fulfilled, or fulfilled very weakly, superficially, very weak understanding or skills are demonstrated; 1 point – the criterion is partially, incompletely met, partial/incomplete understanding or skills are demonstrated; 2 points – the criterion is met qualitatively, accurately, complete, in-depth understanding or skills are demonstrated. In total, it is possible to get a maximum of 10 points for the task, which is equivalent to 10 points. The obtained assessment makes up 50% of the semester assessment of the study course. 2.
