Due to the ever-growing social pressure, children are less and less inclined to show their emotions, and it is the purpose of this work to encourage them to do so. Today, children express themselves with increasing difficulty, especially when it comes to emotions. Small children often unconsciously express their thoughts and feelings through drawing, but the older children, especially the adolescents, often hide their emotions due to the fear of social disapproval. Excessive use of technology has further lessened the ability of verbal and written expression of emotions, which in turn has led to the decline in musical, artistic and other physical means of expression. Visual expression of emotions can help children in expressing themselves in their own way without the looming threat of social disapproval. If we allow them to indirectly express their emotions, they may share them with others as well as keep them for themselves. So the purpose of this research was to find out how to make this a possibility. The research was carried out using the dominant qualitative method on a sample of twenty-two students of the seventh grade of elementary school. It was divided into three stages of action research. The first stage was concerned with the visual perception of emotions, and it was conducted by examining the forms that the students gave to different emotions. In the second stage, students used their own visual templates to construct mobiles of positive and negative emotions. And finally, the last stage focused on composing the visuals for positive emotions and filling out the participation questionnaire. The questionnaire was used to find out how comfortable the children were in sharing their private experiences in this unique way of non-public expression, how capable they were in sharing their emotions in a non-verbal way and whether this method was more enjoyable than verbal or some other form of expression. The goal was to give students more means of visual and artistic expression, especially when dealing with the sensitive topic of emotions. This form of expression gives them means to express themselves non-verbally, to create their own way of displaying emotions and experiences when they feel the need to do so, or when the teacher feels that a student would more easily express themselves in this way.
