The Implementation of Illustrative Techniques in Teaching Children and Young People About Emotions.

The comic book art technique is rarely analysed as an illustrative and projective technique within the field of mental health and prevention of behavioural problems of children and young people. That is why the aim of this study is directed towards analysing the potentials of comic book art as a projective technique for working with children and young people. The evaluation results of the „Mostly Sunny“ project were used, and qualitative research methods were applied. The data were obtained through focus groups and thematic framework analysis was conducted. Through thematic framework analysis, within which three themes were defined in advance (usefulness of the materials, understanding the applicability of the materials, understanding the moral of the comic) 21 dimensions were recognized. By analysing these dimensions, it is possible to conclude that the comic created through this project is easy to use because it is short and eventful, it allows the participants of the program to work together on their experiences which initiates developmental processes such as emotional literacy or the integration of other people's messages about themselves.
