Abstract
This qualitative pilot study investigated the drawing experiences of five adolescent participants to examine virtual reality (VR) as an expressive tool for art therapy for trauma-exposed youth. The participants drew their safe space with traditional art materials (TAM) and then replicated it three-dimensionally utilizing the Oculus Quest for VR artmaking. A phenomenological comparison approach allowed the researcher to explore the data collected through thematic analysis. The investigator presents five themes as the result of five transcribed and coded semi-structured interviews: lack of knowledge/confidence, novelty, empowerment, multisensory, and an unexpected finding of gender-switching to avoid cyberbullying. The results of this pilot study suggest that VR fostered the adolescents’ participation while empowering them to express thoughts, actions, and emotions in nontraditional forms.
