Abstract
In the spring of 1972 I was asked to organize an art program for delinquent children (ages 12 to 18) residing in a county juvenile center in the state of Michigan, U.S.A., using art students from Saginaw Valley College as teachers. Such a project suggests many questions. Can art be used to help develop a sense of social responsibility? Can an art program be used as a valuable part of a total program for reforming young criminals ? I certainly hoped that we could do more than simply offer pleasant recreation. The following report shows the structure and rationale of our approach and the experiences of our first year.
