Abstract
Art, not of any specific form, but art and the processes in which it is created are compatible with many core concepts of what defines a child and youth care (CYC) approach to working and being with young people. The author explores the perceived relationship between art and CYC practice and demonstrates how art-related activities can be used effectively within the context of a CYC approach to practicing care. The article reviews some fundamental philosophies of CYC practice, followed by an exploration of what constitutes art and its similarities and compatibility with a CYC approach. Connections made between CYC practice and the use of art-related activities centre on the use of purposeful activities, developmental/social pedagogical practice, self in relationship, and ethical practice.
