ABSTRACT
The Perceptual/Affective level is the continuation of the K/S experiences focusing on emotional awareness and activates the limbic region of the brain. This helps process autobiographical and explicit factual memory, perceives and mediates emotional responses, especially fear and anger controls impact of hormones. Dr. Janie Rhyne further delineated the structural properties she was studying: visual dynamics of form relationships, orientations, directed movement, spatial interactions, and kinesthetic qualities. Rhyne's dissertation research contributes to an individual's ability to learn his or her own visual language. The assumption that visual representations of states of mind are experienced by all normal adults gives us the opportunity to develop an expressive visual dictionary. Simplifying mood states and mind states into line and color and completing the drawing and painting into one 50-minute session requires the client to express an emotion with swift marks and spontaneous color choices. Idea generation is first achieved when participants choose colors for themselves and resonate with the fluidity of materials.
