Abstract
This paper explores the impact of art therapy on human emotional development. It
demonstrates that creative self-expression through visual arts, meditative techniques, and
imagery-based practices facilitates the awareness, expression, and processing of suppressed
emotions. Art therapy helps individuals connect with their inner experiences and promotes the
harmonization of their psycho-emotional state.
Keywords
: art therapy, emotions, emotional development, self-expression, psychology,
visual practices.
Introduction
Practice as an element of the educational process is carried out to consolidate and expand
the knowledge obtained by students at the university, to acquire the necessary practical skills
to work on the specialty in the conditions of real production, as well as mastering advanced
methods of technology and labor.
The content of practice is determined by the programs for its types (educational and
familiarization, industrial-technological, pre-diploma, etc.). Practical training contributes to the
development of students' independent work skills. During the internship students learn to
independently select and systematize information in the framework of the set tasks, to apply
the acquired knowledge in practice, to study technologies and equipment used in a particular
production, to develop teamwork skills and self-control.
One of the priority requirements of modern employers is professional competence.
Passing the industrial practice allows the student to assess the level of his competence and
determine the need for its adjustment in the process of study at the university.
Learning through practice should be considered as a multifaceted and interdependent
activity of students and teachers, aimed at:
- development by the teacher of an individual program of practice, providing a list of the
main issues to be independently studied by the student in the conditions of a particular
enterprise, as well as the terms of individual tasks, including the collection of factual materials
for the preparation of term and diploma projects;
- perception, realization, processing and assimilation by the student of the information
received in the course of training and during the internship, as well as the desire to apply the
acquired knowledge in practice;
- organization by the teacher of independent, conscious, rational and productive activity
of the student to master the educational information, its application and consolidation in
practice.
- Art therapy (literally "healing by creativity") is a direction of psychological correction,
which helps a person to diagnose and resolve internal conflicts, to realize and express
repressed feelings, to find inner integrity. Art-therapeutic practices accompany a person
throughout life: from the first conscious games to the last story told.
Modern people are used to thinking logically and consistently: we are taught to think
concretely from the first years of life. However, a significant part of acquired impressions and
103
knowledge remains unconscious - the consciousness ignores or displaces the beliefs and
traumatic experiences associated with forbidden, socially unacceptable or dangerous
experiences that were absorbed in childhood.We forget why we decided that obeying our elders
is good and doing things our own way is bad. We do not notice our own aggressive behavior,
we fall into a state of learned helplessness where we are objectively able to influence events.
The main thing is that in pursuit of logic and consistency we stop feeling our own desires and
aspirations.
However, desires, fears, repressed emotions and the feeling of our own possibilities do
not disappear. They live in the subconscious mind and under the influence of external stimuli
from time to time manifest themselves in the form of emotionally intense images. People who
are far from creativity, contact them through dreams, reading books, watching movies. When a
person wakes up from fear or in tears, crying bitterly over a movie, scolding advertising, seeing
a whole
story behind a picture on a candy wrapper or desperately jealous of the hero of the book
- he reacts emotionally not only to an external stimulus, but primarily to his own internal
process.
Art therapy allows you to bypass the censorship of consciousness and translate repressed
states.
