The purpose of this thesis was to help people who want to practice art to discover who they are, what their salient features are and in what ways they define them. In addition, an attempt was made to find out which expression or medium a person leans towards and why. The perceived problem is the educational system that prevents the expression of personality through artistic expression. Throughout children's and adolescent life, formal education most often relegated the individual's personality to the background, and on rare occasions, one's own critical opinion could come to the fore. In addition, after high school education, individuals who wish to continue their professional art education often, due to social and cultural norms, unconsciously accept currently popular habits, motifs, themes and techniques of the contemporary secular and artistic collective in the hope of being accepted as gifted and original members of society. The result of continuous and frequent neglect of one's own affinities and emotional needs is excessive resorting to template artistic expression or more or less consciously following trends on the art scene. The target group that was examined were the students of the Undergraduate University Studies of the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb. Through the given tasks, the participants were encouraged to immerse themselves in their psychological interior and spirituality in order to get to know themselves better; their hidden talents and outstanding qualities. The aim of this thesis was to encourage the participants to express their authentic artistic expression. Although artistic expression changes according to internal changes and these changes last a lifetime, continuous and systematic recording of one's own thoughts and observations can greatly help in the search for one's true artistic expression. Through the research, the following research questions were answered: 1. What methods can be used to achieve authentic personality mapping and what is the relationship between the choice of art medium and the personality of the participant? 2. How useful is the journaling method for stimulating the creativity of the participants? 3. How to achieve the continuity of keeping an art diary? 4 The methods used in this qualitative research are group comparison (comparative method), case study, participatory research, diary, paper analysis and participant observation. In a given period of three weeks, the respondents achieved the discipline of systematically and consistently keeping their art diary and related art works, which helped them understand their potential, talents, traits and release their emotions. The graduate thesis aims to direct the subject towards realizing his full potential, which is greatly influenced by the circumstances in which the subject creates (art space or "studio"), the personalities and dynamics between other participants in the same space, and the subject's allusive database and, of course, his social, cultural and spiritual background. Through artistic expression and tasks, the respondents were able to structure their own personality - to separate their faces/roles; how they appear on the outside, and what they are like when they are alone. The research aimed to help the respondents in discovering their own authentic artistic expression. Also, through this graduate research, an effort was made to help in designing methods (or in designing the order of existing methods) in order for the respondents to completely surrender to their honest and original way of visual expression. In the diploma research, the questions were answered, and the respondents were able to penetrate deeper into their own subconsciousness in order to be able to make more authentic artistic notes. All methods proved to be useful, but depending on the subject, some were more useful than others.
