摘要:艺术治疗作为非言语性心理干预的重要手段，在助力老年人情感表达与心理调适方面展現出不可替代的优势。本研究以艺术治疗理论为支撑，系统探究老年群体绘画创作中色彩运用的心理动因、特征模式及其与情感宣泄的内在关联。研究首先梳理艺术治疗领域中色彩理论与情感表达的核心概念，进而通过理论分析与逻辑演绎，阐释老年人色彩选择背后的心理象征意义与情感投射机制。结果表明:老年人绘画色彩呈現出明度偏低、饱和度对比强烈的共性特征，其色彩语言并非单纯的美学选择，更是内在情感状态、生命历程回顾及自我整合过程的直观外化:绘画创作构建了安全、无评判的情感宣泄通道，能有效缓解老年人的孤独感与焦虑情绪，促进其自我认知深化与生命意义重构。本研究旨在为老年艺术治疗实践提供理论依据与方法论指导，强调以色彩为媒介关注并提升老年人的精神福祉水平。
Abstract: Art therapy, as an important means of non-verbal psychological intervention, hasdemonstrated irreplaceable advantages in assisting the elderly in emotional expression andpsychological adjustment. This study, supported by the theory of art therapy, systematicallyexplores the psychological motivations, characteristic patterns of color application in thepainting creation of the elderly group, as well as its intrinsic connection with emotional release.The research first sorts out the core concepts of color theory and emotional expression in the field of art therapy, and then through theoretical analysis and logical deduction, explains thepsychological symbolic meaning and emotional projection mechanism behind the color choicesof the elderly. The results show that the colors in the paintings of the elderly present commoncharacteristics such as low lightness and strong saturation contrast.Their color language is notmerely an aesthetic choice, but rather an intuitive externalization of their inner emotional state,review of their life journey and the process of self-integration. Painting creation has establisheda safe and non-judgmental channel for emotional release, which can effectively alleviatethe loneliness and anxiety of the elderly, and promote the deepening of their self-awarenessand the reconstruction of their life meaning.This study aims to provide theoretical basis andmethodological guidance for the practice of art therapy for the elderly, emphasizing the use ofcolor as a medium to pay attention to and enhance the spiritual well-being level of the elderly.
