Revealing the Potential of Gifted Children with Art Therapy: The Role of School Counselor

Abstract

Art serves as a powerful tool for humanity to leave its mark on history, communicate with its environment, and express its inner world. Its multifaceted reflections can be observed on cave walls, parchment, or even within the subtleties of language. This versatility enriches humanity in various ways. Through art, individuals not only convey their inner selves but also leave a lasting legacy for future generations. Within this multidimensional expression lies the concept of art therapy, which seeks to externalize an individual’s inner processes through various art forms, without the emphasis on creating a finished product. This study explores the individual-centred nature of art therapy and its potential impact on the educational process. To this end, a four-week training program consisting of 15 hours was designed to equip school 10 guidance teachers with the skills to use art therapy in educating gifted children regarding various branches of art. The study employed a qualitative research method was used in the research, with data analysed through content analysis. The findings revealed that school counsellors held positive views on art therapy and expressed their intention to incorporate it into their practices with gifted children.
