Abstract

Abstract: This study examines the use of subconscious-based drawing techniques as an educational tool for developing creative potential in illustration education. Drawing inspiration from Surrealist automatism and expressive methods rooted in art therapy, the research focuses on experiential, process-oriented forms of creative production within the context of art education. In workshops conducted with students, participants produced visual narratives using expressive techniques also employed in art therapy, which are considered effective in initiating creativity. This process-driven approach aims to establish a conceptual link between art education, therapeutic practices, and the construction of the artwork itself. Through observations based on experimental applications, the study seeks to discuss the contribution of this method to creative learning processes.

Özet

Öz: Bu çalışma, illüstrasyon eğitiminde yaratıcı potansiyelin geliştirilmesine yönelik olarak bilinçdışı çizim tekniklerinin eğitsel bir araç olarak kullanımını ele almaktadır. Gerçeküstücülüğün otomatizm yaklaşımı ile sanat terapisinin yaratıcı süreci destekleyen yöntemlerinden esinlenen araştırma, sanat eğitimi bağlamında deneyim temelli yaratıcı üretim biçimlerine odaklanır. Öğrenciler ile yapılan çalıştaylarda katılımcıların sanat terapisinde de kullanılan ifade teknikleri ile görsel anlatılar üretmeleri, yaratıcılığı başlatan bir yöntem olarak değerlendirilir. Süreç odaklı bu yaklaşım, sanat eğitimi, terapötik uygulamalar ve sanat eserinin oluşturulması arasında kavramsal bir bağlantı kurmayı hedeflemektedir. Çalışma, deneysel uygulamalara dayalı gözlemler ışığında bu yöntemin yaratıcı öğrenme süreçlerine katkısını tartışmayı amaçlamaktadır.
