Özet: The aim of this study is to examine the gender stereotypes of students in Fine Arts High School. The sample of the study consists of 89 volunteer students (37% female and 63% male) among the students studying in the field of art of the Fine Arts High School located in Van, Turkey. A metaphorical questionnaire asking what and why they liken men and women to was given. An activity of "Draw A Woman" and "Draw A Man" was held. It was determined that the results of the study obtained by classifying the data with the content analysis, one of the qualitative analysis methods, differed according to gender and the methods used in the study. A total of 67 metaphors were created for women and 80 metaphors were created for men. The metaphors created for men had more diversity. It was observed that male and female students mainly used metaphors mainly in the category of plants to describe women, and in the category of objects to describe men. In the explanations and drawings of metaphors, female students mostly did not describe women with negative characteristics. This indicated that female students' self-perception was positive. Compared to female students, male students described men with negative characteristics more. The female students depicted women as independent, talented and strong with a high level of self-esteem while they described men as honest, respectful, and valuing women. On the other hand, male students associated women with housework, childcare, delicacy, and emotionality while they depicted men as strong, protective, heroic, worker, and income earner.
