APPLICATION OF AN ANIMATIVE APPROACH THROUGH PLASTICINE PAINTING TO ENHANCE EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE: AN AUTHORIAL METHOD FOR WORKING WITH PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Summary/Abstract: The animative approach, integrated with plasticine painting, presents innovative prospects for enhancing emotional intelligence among primary school students. Emotional intelligence, as a vital element of personal and social development, underpins students' adaptation to the school environment, the establishment of interpersonal relationships, and the effective regulation of emotions. The method, "Emotions in Colours," conceived by Dr. Abner, combines creative and reflective activities designed to cultivate emotional awareness, empathy, and self-regulation. This pedagogical framework consists of five structured phases, transitioning from individual expression to group dynamics, leveraging plasticine as a medium for emotional representation and exploration. Central to the approach are experiential activities such as the "Emotional Palette," where students associate emotions with colors, and the "Heart of Emotions," which promotes group interaction and mutual respect. Reflective exercises empower students to visualize and analyze their emotions, equipping them with constructive strategies for navigating challenges. The experimental implementation of this model, supervised by visual arts educator Mr. Svilen Genov, involved third- and fourth-grade students. The study employed both experimental and control groups, yielding results that demonstrated substantial improvements in empathy, self-awareness, and collaborative skills among participants. These findings underscore the significance of innovative pedagogical strategies in supporting children’s emotional and social development. The animative pedagogical approach exemplifies how creative methodologies can meet the multifaceted needs of young learners, fostering emotional resilience and social harmony in an inclusive and stimulating educational setting.
