AB  - The purpose of this study is to make sense and raise awareness of synesthetic experiencesof high school art students, and to ensure that students discover and consciously use theircreativity skills in artistic creation processes. The study adopts a qualitative approachand is based on the phenomenological design. The study group consists of 15 art students,aged between 15 and 18 and seven visual arts teachers. A participant identification formwas given to 115 students to determine the study group. To obtain data, qualitative datacollection methods including interviews, observation and document analysis were used.The data obtained in the study were analysed through content analysis. When the resultsof the study are evaluated, the synesthetic experiences of the students are experiences suchas numbers having colors, seeing colors or shapes while listening to music, and associatingwords with certain tastes. However, a significant number of students were not aware thatthese experiences were a special case of synesthesia. Most of the participants thought thatthese experiences were not unique to them and that everyone perceived them similarly.This situation caused the students not to use their synesthetic experiences in their creativeprocesses or academic lives before. Having learned about the concept of synesthesia duringthe research process, the students were able to better describe their experiences and expressedthat they felt creative and different. The visual arts teachers stated that they had neverheard of synesthesia and should have knowledge of the phenomenon.

N2  - Bu araştırmada güzel sanatlar lisesi resim bölümü öğrencilerinin yaşadığı sinestezik deneyimlerianlamlandırmak, farkındalık sağlamak ve ortaya çıkararak öğrencinin sanatsalüretim sürecindeki yaratıcılık becerilerini bilinçli bir şekilde gerçekleştirmesi hedeflenmektedir.Nitel yöntemin uygulandığı araştırma, fenomenoloji desenine dayanmaktadır.Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu 15-18 yaş grubu 15 resim öğrencisi ve yedi görsel sanatlaröğretmeni oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma grubunu belirlemek için 115 öğrenciye beş sorulukkatılımcı belirleme formu verilmiştir. Verilerin elde edilmesinde görüşme, gözlem ve dokümanincelemesi gibi nitel veri toplama tekniklerinden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırmada eldeedilen veriler içerik analizi ile çözümlenmiştir. Araştırmanın sonuçları değerlendirildiğinde,öğrencilerin sinestezik deneyimleri sayıların renklere sahip olması, müzik dinlerkenrenk ya da şekil görme, kelimelerin belirli tatlarla ilişkilendirilmesi gibi deneyimlerdir. Ancaköğrencilerin önemli bir kısmı bu deneyimlerin sinesteziye ait özel bir durum olduğununfarkında değildir. Katılımcıların çoğu, bu deneyimlerin kendilerine özgü olmadığınıve herkesin benzer şekilde algıladığını düşünmüştür. Bu durum, öğrencilerin sinestezik deneyimlerinidaha önce yaratıcı süreçlerinde ya da akademik yaşamlarında kullanmamalarınaneden olmuştur. Araştırma sürecinde sinestezi kavramını öğrenen öğrenciler, sahipoldukları deneyimleri daha iyi tanımlayabilmiş; kendilerini yaratıcı ve farklı hissettikleriniifade etmişlerdir. Bununla birlikte, görsel sanatlar öğretmenlerinin sinesteziyi daha önceduymadıkları, sinestezi hakkında ise bilgi sahibi olunması gerektiğini ifade etmişlerdir.
