Understanding the Meaning of Color for Social-Emotional-Spiritual intelligence

Abstract

This project considers the intuitive approach within arts-based pedagogies, which examines how such methods foster student creativity, emotional expression, and critical thinking. However, utilizing art as a tool for processing and understanding trauma, difficult emotions, and behaviors can be dramatically improved by understanding what certain color patterns created in art mean. This method of understanding color patterns is especially relevant for educators, therapists, parents, and future educators seeking to help children in a deep, transformative way. Patterns of concerns that can be identified are not limited to self-harm, harm to others, and trauma-induced fear. The research methods are evidence-based and an adaptive pedagogy for several school districts throughout New England.
