📄 Abstract
Emotional intelligence has often been overshadowed by academic excellence and intelligence quotient (IQ), particularly in the field of education. This study aims to shed light on the importance of emotional intelligence in students well-being and to facilitate emotional revelation through art creation. To identify students with low emotional intelligence, the TEIQue-SF was administered to 184 senior high school students at a university in Santa Cruz, Laguna. The researcher designed a four-week program titled Artful Emotions: A Journey of Emotional Revelation, consisting of three art forms: sculpting, painting, and writing. Three (3) senior high school students identified with low emotional intelligence, based on TEIQue-SF criteria, participated in the program. Each student engaged individually in all three art forms, completing four sessions per modality. Each session lasted approximately two hours, including a short interview about the participants art creation process and emotional experience. Observations were also conducted during the sessions to capture non-verbal expressions and behaviors. Each session was guided by a theme designed to promote emotional expression and self-reflection. Findings revealed that engaging in creative or artistic activities served as a bridge for participants who previously struggled to articulate their emotions. The program gradually guided the participants with low emotional intelligence toward emotional awareness, expression, and enlightenment.
