Abstract
This paper aims to identify a better understanding of students through the use of visual listening in viewing student artwork. Honing in on how each student responds through the art-making process when given a word. There is a possibility that there is a connection between childrens’ subject matter in their artworks and what may be going on in those children's lives. Children have a limited vocabulary, and may create artworks to help express themselves and emotions that they feel. This paper will be studying the responses of students when asked to complete an artwork based on given words. The results will be categorized based on the students’ responses. This paper will hopefully provide more information as a supplementary reference in the pursuit of further research in children's emotions and traumas as exemplified in their artworks.
