Abstract

The findings presented in this paper were derived from a study exploring an art task, the symbolic graphic lifeline. The purpose of the study was to examine correlations between five different line qualities and five different categories of emotions expressed in participant artwork. The sample consisted of 50 adult participants, ranging in age from 23 to 81, in a partialpsychiatric program. A participant questionnaire and evaluation of artwork using a feeling-and-line-quality scale were used to gather data. Results showed significant relationships between line quality and emotions. The interrater reliability between the two raters who evaluated the artwork was also significant.
