Art therapy is an approach aimed at promoting the mental health of individuals through creative expression and self-exploration. The method has been widely used in the field of education and child psychotherapy, and significant progress has been made. In particular, art therapy plays an important role in adolescent identity development. Adolescence is regarded as a critical period in the formation of an individual's identity and they are faced with identity challenges and exploration. By engaging in art therapy activities, adolescents can express emotions and thoughts in creative ways as a means of exploring and shaping their identity. This article aims to analyze the benefits of art therapy on adolescent identity development by reviewing existing research and providing insights. The article will provide an in-depth look at three perspectives: art therapy open studios, school-based art therapy, and digital technology art therapy. The findings clearly show that art therapy helps adolescents to shape their self-identity to a certain extent. Therefore, it is necessary to further promote and apply art therapy to provide more opportunities and support for the healthy growth of adolescents. By expanding the scope and implementation of art therapy, people can further improve its effectiveness in adolescents' identity development, thus making a greater contribution to the development of their mental health and social adaptability.

“…The study's approach involved the use of qualitative case study research (Baxter & Jack, 2015), which provided a detailed and in-depth analysis of the impact of visual documentation approaches on the reading comprehension skills of children with reading difficulties and disabilities (Kim & Chung, 2023;Williamson, Given, & Scifleet, 2018). This research method was combined with studio-based procedures for designing reading comprehension performance (Ball et al, 2021).…”

This study explores the effectiveness of visual documentation approaches in enhancing reading comprehension for children with reading difficulties and disabilities. This study aims to investigate how integrating visual elements alongside text can improve the reading experience for these children. In the methodology, a sample group of children with varying reading difficulties and disabilities was selected to participate in a series of reading comprehension tasks using visual documentation approaches. The study used qualitative case study research to analyze the impact of these approaches on the participants’ reading comprehension skills through pre- and post-studio-based assessments, observation, and feedback collection. The findings of this study indicated that incorporating visual documentation approaches significantly improves the reading comprehension abilities of children with reading difficulties and disabilities. Participants showed higher engagement, better retention of information, and increased understanding of textual content when visual elements were introduced. The data collected suggests that visual documentation approaches can be a valuable tool in supporting these children’s learning needs. Visual documentation approaches have demonstrated a positive impact on enhancing reading comprehension for children with reading difficulties and disabilities. By leveraging visuals alongside text, educators and parents can create a more inclusive and effective learning environment for these children. It is recommended that further research be conducted to explore additional strategies and best practices for integrating visual documentation into literacy instruction for children with diverse learning needs.

This clinical practice guide traces the role of art and creativity in mental health and well-being. This is a difficult task since the evidence from research spans a wide variety of fine art forms and different aspects of creativity. Hence, we have tried to combine both evidence-based research as well as our clinical experience and practice in the field of arts in utilizing creative pursuits as a life skill and a well-being initiative. The focus of the guidelines is preventive and promotional with relevance to mental health. We also hope that this should be a beginning in encouraging psychiatrists in India to use art-based therapies in their clinical practice. This will further our knowledge of how arts can be a therapeutic intervention as well as a well-being tool. It will also build on the evidence base on how art impacts our mental health. Creativity is undeniably one of humanity's most valued traits; the capacity to produce new ideas, innovations, and art is perhaps the most striking characteristic of the human brain. “Art” has evolved, and what is art, has been redefined over human history. The domain of “art” refers to the diverse range of activities that often use imagination to express ideas and feelings. Whilst the boundaries of what constitutes art or creativity may sometimes appear esoteric, we still can identify a range of creative pursuits: visual, musical, verbal, literary, dance, or creative pursuits related to our body movements and a range of forms of newer integrated forms and those that use technology are recognized as art forms. As in most ancient traditions, in India, we have a plethora of fine art traditions many of which have a highly systematic practice around their learning. We believe this is an asset that we need to nurture and celebrate. We begin by tracing the footsteps of Indian fine arts being a mental health promotional tool in ancient India. We then proceed to describe the scope of creative pursuits for different populations and its relevance in school and child mental health. We offer suggestions as to how creative art forms can be utilized in a practical way in daily life, schools, and care of the elderly. It is to be noted that the entire focus here is the process of creativity and not the completed product or the achievement related to the same. Hence, it is relevant to each one of us and to anyone who wishes to be healthy.
