미술치료실의 빛(색채)환경에 대한 연구

Abstract

This study was conducted in order to understand the effects of light(color) environment of art therapy space on Nurie coloring, emotional change, and palm temperature for understanding the impact of light(color) environment of art therapy space on client's emotion. The light(color) environment of art therapy space was changed by using LED(Light Emitting Diodes) lightings which have different correlated color temperatures(CCT) of 6500K or 2900K. Emotional assessment and Nurie coloring were conducted for 160 number of university students (Korean students: 80, Chinese students: 80) by using emotional evaluation questionnaire proposed by Soon-Duk Jee(2007) and Aura Nurie by Suenaga Tamio, respectively. In addition, palm temperature was measured for 120 number of university students (Korean students: 60, Chinese students: 60) by using infrared thermal imaging camera. The results were analyzed using a SPSS19.0. The results showed that the light(color) environment having CCT of 2900K caused emotions such as 'sentiment', 'relaxing', 'dignity', 'warm', and 'soft'. Meanwhile, the light(color) environment having CCT of 6500K caused emotions such as 'dynamic', 'clear', 'refreshing', 'vivid', and 'cool'. Futhermore, main colors of Nurie coloring, conducted under the different light(color) environment having CCT of 2900K, were analyzed as warm colors which are related to 'psychology with extroverted tendency' in color chart of 'Heart & Color'. However, main colors of Nurie coloring, conducted under the different light(color) environment having CCT of 6500K, were analyzed as cold colors which are related to 'psychology with introverted tendency' in color chart. In addition, the light(color) environment having CCT of 2900K caused higher palm temperature than that having CCT of 6500K for Korean students as well as Chinese students. In addition, there was a significant correlation between the main colors of Nurie coloring and emotional change for Korean students as well as Chinese students. However, there was no correlation between palm temperature and emotional change, and there was also no corelation between palm temperature and the main colors of Nurie coloring. In conclusion, the light(color) environment of art therapy space have significant impacts on the main colors of Nurie coloring, emotional change and palm temperature, as well, which implies that client's emotion can be varied as light(color) environment of art therapy space changes.
