This course is designed to assist graduate students with the research and development of their new work. The weekly format is determined with the students. In class, they show works-in-progress, try out ideas with their colleagues, and discuss issues involved in their creative processes. Though the class meets only once a week, students are expected to spend considerable time each week in active, ongoing creative research; their independent projects will be presented to the public, either formally or informally, by the end of the term.

In the student's final semester, students in the must upload their Personal Arts Practice Portfolio as part of the requirements for the Clinical Mental Health Counseling in Expressive Arts concentration. This portfolio will consist of documentation of the student's engagement with expressive arts over the course of their study within the program, including but not limited to expressive arts products submitted as demonstrations of learning, personal expressive arts engagement, and other works engaged as part of their development throughout their time in the program.
