Abstract:
The practice of art therapy those diagnosed with anxiety disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorders and the like has been formally applied with success for decades. Makoto Fujimura, Monty Satiadarma and other notable practitioners in this field, have documented and demonstrated evidence of the efficacy of mindful art therapy. This research presentation will identify the ways in which the introduction and application of the visual arts can elicit mindfulness and self awareness in the classroom. behavior and/or classroom management can be a challenge in for any educator. Twenty first century teacher education deemphasizes fear and conformity in favor of mindfulness and self awareness (for students and educators). Nevertheless, the concept of self awareness does not figure prominently in traditional teacher preparation programs in the USA. Organizations such as the Institute for Continuing Education in Art Therapy(a subsidiary of the American Art Therapy Association), offer practical classroom strategies for the implementation of art across the curriculum. The purpose of this presentation is to: showcase the efficacy of art as a teaching tool and clarify the ways in which art can become permanent aspect of any classroom culture.
