Our goal in Arts for Health and
Education program is to show two areas of the employment
of art and to broaden the use of cultural means of
expression in working life situations and in
education.
The qualities of Arts for Health and
Education are the combined influences of the giving of
joy and anxiety simultaneously. The arts clearly have
the potential to make major contribution to our health.
We believe that every person is unique and that all
perspectives of art must be taken into consideration. It
is important to take into consideration the evidence of
the impact of the arts on health to ensure proper
identification of their effect.
Visual Arts Programs are useful
educational tools as complement to textbooks on
nonverbal communication and empathy. Visual Art in
Education is a way of adding new dimensions to persons’
experiences. Through constructing scenarios around a
painting a person could observe situations, which are
relevant in her or his working profession. When studying
interpersonal relations at an art gallery, you could
observe, in a relevant and fruitful way, the notions of
interpersonal relations integrated into works of art.
