Art and Social Interaction (eBook, PDF)

How College Students Spark Creativity, Purpose and Joy in Institutional Settings

Beschreibung

This second edition expands upon a program that teaches expressive visual arts activities to college students to share with individuals in jails, nursing homes, psychiatric facilities, domestic abuse shelters and youth care centers.

Creating expressive art through interaction with those affected, students gain an intimate awareness of crime; mental illness; substance, child, domestic abuse; and aging-critical issues of our time. Specially designed projects in drawing, painting, collage, sculpture and crafts are supplemented with student reflections on how the experience influenced their lives and future careers plus institutional evaluation on the effectiveness of the program on their clientele.

Delivering everything needed to set up the course in any liberal arts college, the book
covers planning, execution, projected outcomes and evaluation, offering students an education relevant to their lives and careers while giving institutions a dynamically effective program of self-enhancement through the arts.

Rezensionen

'In Art and Social Interaction, Professor Peck provides a detailed blueprint for experiential learning in art and social justice. Through internships making art collaboratively with a range of individuals experiencing the challenges of poverty, trauma and oppression, often in institutional settings, students practice compassion, humility and creativity. Art and Social Interaction is truly a book for this moment, when those with educational privilege are called to use their skills to advance social justice. Professor Peck demonstrates the way visual art levels the playing field and facilitates critical insight into identity and society. Art & Social Interaction is a must read for university

administrators and faculty as we work to educate the next generation of compassionate and skilled leaders.'

Francine Sherman, Clinical Professor Emerita, Boston College Law School; President of I Am Why, Iamwhy.org

'Dr. Peck's book on the healing of disenfranchised and marginalized populations via shared expressive art activities with college students is a breath of fresh air. An artist and an educational icon, she leads the next generation of students to appreciate the value and imperative nature of this endeavor.'

Kathleen Monahan, DSW, LCSW, LMFT, Associate Professor, School of Social Welfare, Stony Brook University

'The art program at Delaney Hall succeeded in healing the residents suffering from substance use disorders and co-occurring disorders in a way that traditional forms of therapy could and would not do alone. I saw more and more residents take an interest in the program and residents who had barely interacted with staff begin to open up. The art created with the college students became an emotional outlet that allowed their anger, sorrow and joy to transcend the traditional therapeutic relationship and in turn gave them a sense of healing. The value went well beyond the sessions because their artwork became a piece of their psyche, or inner self to reflect upon. The availability of this book allows for the possibility of continuing a version of this fertile program through our own resources.'

Ellyn Gannon, LPC, MA, NCC, ACS, CCS, Delaney Hall, Deputy Director/Clinical Director

'Judith Peck's new book, Art and Social Interaction, offers a compelling rationale and a useful guide to teachers, counselors, institutional administrators, and others in human services to get at the innermost feelings and concerns of those in their care -- particularly those most vulnerable and often reticent to speak out -- by employing various forms of non-verbal expression through drawing, painting and sculpture and the non-threatening social engagement with dedicated college students.'

Peter I. Rose, Sophia Smith Professor Emeritus of Sociology and Anthropology, Smith College

'What makes Peck's book different is the authenticity of her broad experience, and its relevance to professors, students and institutional administrators. The kind of work encouraged and fostered here draws on an altruism that is fading. This work facilitates social change and builds sorely needed connection between institutions and communities.'

Andy Teirstein, PhD, Arts professor at NYU Tisch School of the Arts
