| Summary: | Art is a key factor in creativity and emotional regulation, supporting holistic individual development. In education, better integration of artistic subjects enhances learning quality by fostering creative expression. This study examines the impact of drawing within the fractal intuitive cycle on creativity, emotional regulation, and self-discovery, assessing its role in stress reduction, relaxation, and emotional expression. Additionally, it explores attitudes toward introducing this cycle in education and the interest in learning it. Emphasis is placed on contemporary educational methods that nurture creativity, emotional intelligence, and self-awareness, contributing to a holistic approach. The study involved 99 participants, 97.98% of whom were women, with the most represented age group being 51–60 years (33.34%). The majority (80%) work in education, highlighting strong professional interest in creative and introspective methods. Conducted over two years, the research resulted in 1,970 drawings. Findings show a significant impact of intuitive drawing on emotional state, creativity, and introspection. Common expectations included stress reduction (14.09%), emotional regulation (11.20%), and new opportunities (9.85%), with 86.87% of participants reporting that these expectations were met or exceeded. Positive emotional changes were noted by 64.65%, while 76.77% felt creatively liberated. Additionally, 49.50% experienced improved concentration and increased positive emotions: satisfaction (15.75%), calmness (14.84%), and self-confidence (13.24%), alongside a reduction in fear (15.82%) and insecurity (15.82%). Most participants (91.92%) plan to continue using this technique, and 81.82% expressed interest in learning it within a school setting. All participants (100%) believe such programs should be included in education. Key benefits identified include relaxation and stress reduction (12.75%), introspective insights (10.93%), emotional regulation (10.20%). The results confirm that the intuitive cycle is not just a tool for creative expression but also a powerful medium for personal growth, relaxation, and emotional release. |
