abstract: Anxiety is a symptom of fear of something that poses a threat. At a normal
level, anxiety is a normal defense mechanism possessed by humans. However, when
anxiety reaches a negative level, namely when it interferes with daily activities, it
needs to be given proportional attention. If this condition is not properly regulated, it
will lead to chronic consequences such as depression. Based on this phenomenon, this
thesis explores the process of art as therapy to overcome anxiety, focusing on
students in Yogyakarta. Four informants were gathered from three educational
institutions: the Indonesian Institute of the Arts, Yogyakarta State University, and
Sunan Kalijaga State Islamic University. This thesis formulates the stages of art as
therapy that can be applied independently to help students regulate their emotions.
The approach used is qualitative with a descriptive-analytical method to explore in
depth the data collected through observation and interviews with informants or
research subjects. Primary data was obtained through observation of the research
subjects, both before and during the art therapy process. In addition, interviews were
also used to understand the emotional responses and changes felt during the therapy
process. Library research was used to examine literature relevant to art therapy theory
and previous research results.
A number of studies have implemented art therapy procedures, but few have
used art as therapy. Although the two are interconnected and inseparable, art therapy
and art as therapy have slight differences in their stages. The similarity between the
two lies in the therapeutic effects they produce. Judith Aron Rubin's theory, art
therapy, and Edward Burke Feldman's art criticism will serve as guides and thinking
partners for analyzing the creative process and its results. Quoting the stages of art
therapy developed by Rubin, which have been elaborated and explored in various
literature, this study will compile concrete stages to determine the procedures for art
as therapy that are applicable. These stages serve as a starting point for further
observation of several students in Yogyakarta who are experiencing anxiety. The
results of this study show that art activities as therapy conducted in two different
sessions, namely private sessions and group sessions with the Ngudaroso community,
can be a medium of sublimation to overcome anxiety among students. For example,
Student Y, who initially felt fear about the future and often found it difficult to carry
out daily activities, felt more relaxed and was able to refocus on his current
responsibilities after participating in art therapy sessions. In addition, the results of
the artistic process as therapy will be analyzed using Edward Burke Feldman's art
criticism perspective, which includes the stages of description, formal analysis,
interpretation, and evaluation. Ultimately, this thesis concludes that visual artworks as a medium of self-sublimation by students cannot be considered works without
value. This work is a manifestation of the mental problems currently experienced by
students. Based on Feldman's art criticism, this study also finds inner significance—
from the choice of colors, the shape of the objects in the images, and the stories—
between the artwork and its creator. This further reinforces the therapeutic effect of
art as therapy.
