Description
The presenter reveals insights into adolescents' artistic exploration through virtual reality (VR) art-making. Participants depicted safe spaces with traditional art materials in VR. Thematic analysis unveiled themes: diminished confidence, empowerment, multisensory engagement, and shared experiences of gender-switching. Virtual reality empowers non-traditional expression of thoughts, fostering participation and creativity.
