The discovery and improvement of the ağabeylities of children can be provided by directing Their energy into art. Because art is a way of communication. I have made studies in the reformatories where guilty children are kept. I noticed that children found guilty due to various it. A child having familial problems in reformatory because of committing a public crime was coincidentally the theme of my study. The sixteen-year old child be ing under psychological pressure was confused. The energetic child was rather introverted due to the feeling of guilt. Being friends, we cherished the hope of hte goad days we visited workshops. He was so much impressed that he’d also like to do these sort of things.Getting permisson from the reformatory, I look him to my workshop. When he realized that he wasted his energy, he proved to be more creative. He made over 10 works from mud in 3 monthe. Two years later. I met him in one of the colleges in California white attending sculpture lessons. Being in Turkey, I would to like to make studies as an artist and a pedagogue.
