SANAT EĞİTİMİNDE SOMATİK VE DIŞAVURUMCU YÖNTEMLERİN ENTEGRASYONU

The inner intuition that forms the basis of art is thought to interact with many environmental stimuli in today's world. This situation brings with it certain limitations. Digital transformation and integrating the artificial intelligence-based virtual world, which is rapidly becoming widespread in the modern world, into every aspect of our daily lives further deepen these limitations. While the weakening of the natural connection between body and mind leads to a decrease in individuals' physical and sensory awareness, this rupture also manifests itself in the creative processes of art. In this context, reconnecting to one's body through somatic experiences offers an important opportunity to overcome these limitations caused by the digital world. The people of the contemporary world are struggling with complex problems created by concepts such as bodily detachment and distancing from the truth. This situation causes bodily and sensory disconnections to become inevitable in art. Somatic experiencing offers an alternative for individuals receiving art education that focuses on recognizing body movements and developing bodily perception. This approach not only increases the body awareness of individuals but also strengthens their sense of creation and positively supports creative artworks. Focusing on such interdisciplinary approaches in visual arts education can be important for creative artistic expression by developing our vital skills in today's modern digital world.In this context, the study aims to examine the content and techniques of somatic experiencing and to have the determined study group perform a three-stage somatic application study within the scope of artistic expression. The study believes that expressive art education practices centered on somatic experiences for art education students will lead to a positive development in individuals and make positive interdisciplinary contributions in the field of art and psychology.
