Abstract
This paper focuses on CONNECTEDkind (hereafter “Ck”), a learning that was created during the uncertain times of the COVID-19 pandemic. Ck is a practice of sharing with others drawings based on natural objects and their shadows.
This study is in the preparatory stage of scientifically investigating the learning effects of Ck, with the goal of examining the brainwave of participants during the practice.
Brainwave measurements were conducted on four Ck participants, revealing two distinct brainwave patterns. It was found that participants exhibited similar tendencies in their drawing styles and completed artworks within each respective brainwave pattern.
Additionally, a survey of approximately 100 Ck participants showed that many of them experienced an improvement in imagination, increased interest in others, and a heightened sense of connectedness with nature.
These findings suggest the potential for advancing our understanding of the learning effects of Ck through this approach.
