Popular symbols and their reflection in the artistic expression of secondary school students
Keywords:
Symbol, Artistic Expression, secondary school studentsAbstract
This research highlights the symbol, which has preoccupied those working in art and art education, because art, for the learner, is a means to express their thoughts, feelings, and emotions. It is the outlet for their vivid imagination and stimulates thought. Expressive ability only comes alive in lines, symbols, shapes, colors, their rhythms, and the events presented in the work. Therefore, the relationship between the subject and the expressed emotion is not a means-end relationship, but rather a relationship between two elements, each supporting the other within a coherent whole, where the symbol reinforces this relationship. The research problem was defined by the question: (What are the popular symbols and their reflection in the artistic expression of secondary school students?) The second chapter included a discussion of the symbol and its relationship to artistic expression and concluded with previous studies. In the third chapter, the researcher selected a purposive, selective sample, and through the analysis form, she arrived at the most important results, conclusions, recommendations, and suggestions.
