Abstract : This research aims to describe: 1) the effects of art appreciation on emotions and cognitive and; 2) the role of art appreciation learning in building students’ emotional creativity. The research uses a qualitative approach with an exploratory type of research that collects data using the library research method. Google Scholar as a database that is also linked to Scopus and PubMed was used to collect literature with a time span of 2016-2025. Data were analyzed using synthesis techniques that present data descriptively and narratively. The results showed two sub-sections. First, the effects of art appreciation on emotions and cognition, including increasing the experience of aesthetic emotions (diversity, intensity, and frequency of emotions), meaning-making, fostering emotional intelligence, a sense of empathy, implicit emotion regulation skills, self and others’ understanding, generating inspiration and stimulating creative ideas, and awakening imagination and imagery. Secondly, art appreciation learning acts as a medium for emotional education and character development, creating an interactive reflective space, paving the way for new experiences, and free space for directed expression. Experiences from learning art appreciation can become patterns that are abstracted in everyday life. Indirectly, the research provides a basic description of the relationship between emotional creativity and art appreciation in the context of education.
