Abstract

The background of the study is based on COVID-19 from March 2020 to May 2023, a period in which anxiety and depression rose by 25% globally. The study explores how painting can be used as an emotional expression tool to accurately express the "panic emotions" generated by artists during COVID-19 and help researchers release their emotions. The study used qualitative research methods to analyze the works of relevant artists during the epidemic period, and summarized the "panic" elements in the paintings. The results of this study are based on the researchers' own experience to produce relevant epidemic theme paintings.
