Abstract

The article presents key results of the research project “Socialization of children in difficult life situations by means of art” under the State Assignment of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation to the Institute of Art Education and Cultural Studies of the Russian Academy of Education for the year 2020. As a result of the conducted study based on the analysis of theoretical aspects of philosophical, psychological, sociological, pedagogical, and culturological conceptions concerning personality development through art, promising approaches to the creation of psychological and pedagogical conditions for the productive socialization of children in difficult situations are identified. The Concept of pedagogical support for the productive socialization of children in difficult situations by means of art is developed and includes a theoretical model for the organization of children’s socialization and their integration into the sociocultural space through active artistic and creative activity. The potential of art and artistic activity in the socialization of children in difficult life situations is substantiated in the general cultural, social, and pedagogical aspects. The relationships between emotional and value self-identification of a person and their involvement in independent or collective artistic and creative activity are revealed.
