Art and Social Interaction: How College Students Spark Creativity, Purpose and Joy in Institutional Settings
Autor Judith Pecken Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 oct 2025
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.

Recenzii
"Art and Social Interaction is an extraordinary example of student learning and community engagement in the major domestic issues of our time, including crime; mental illness; child, spousal and substance abuse; frail elderly concerns, and poverty."
Dr Robert A. Scott, President Emeritus, Adelphi University
"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 endeavour."
Kathleen Monahan, DSW, LCSW, LMFT, associate professor, School of Social Welfare, Stony Brook University
"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
"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 and 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
