「她用一顆黃色小笑臉，畫出了自己的蒙娜麗莎」With a tiny yellow smile, she painted her own Mona Lisa.

在創作過程中，這位 12 歲孩子一度陷入掙扎——她想把《蒙娜麗莎》畫得一模一樣，但過程讓她感到痛苦。

直到最後，她決定加入那顆黃色的小笑臉，畫出了專屬於自己的版本。

這不只是臨摹，更是一場從模仿到自我的突破。

藝術，帶來的力量就是——「我可以不一樣，但依然美麗。」

In the process, this 12-year-old struggled—wanting to copy the Mona Lisa perfectly, but feeling trapped.

In the end, she added a yellow smiley, creating her own version.

Art is not just imitation, but a journey of becoming yourself.

從表達性藝術治療的視角來看這孩子的創作過程

1. 身份認同探索方面

   在 12 歲這個年紀，孩子正處於「我是誰？我要怎麼與他人不同？」的發展階段。這幅畫的轉變過程，正好回應了這種「身份尋找」：她不是複製，而是擁有了自己版本的蒙娜麗莎。

   
   

2. 情緒調節方面

   從痛苦到快樂的過程，說明藝術創作幫助她轉化壓力，並在畫布上找到出口。

黃色的使用與笑臉的符號，都反映了孩子最終將壓力轉為正能量。

3. 創造力的解放

孩子插入了「自己的符號」（笑臉、簡化的臉龐）。這是一種「在規範裡創新

的經驗，對孩子日後在學習、生活中的自我表達很有價值。

From Expressive Arts Therapy Perspective

1. Identity Exploration

At the age of 12, children are in the developmental stage of asking, “Who am I? How am I different from others?” The transformation in this painting directly reflects this search for identity: instead of copying, he created her own version of the Mona Lisa.

2. Emotional Regulation

The shift from struggle to joy shows how art-making helped her transform pressure and find an outlet on the canvas. The use of yellow and the addition of the smiley symbol reflect how she eventually turned stress into positive energy.

3. Creative Liberation

The child inserted her own symbols (the smiley, the simplified face).

This experience of “innovating within structure” is valuable for her future self-expression in both learning and life.
