Listening, Writing, Drawing: The Artistic Response of Incarcerated Youth to Young-Adult Literature
Jacobs, Sue
Educational Horizons, v84 n2 p112-120 Win 2006
This article reports the findings of a study examining the types of artistic responses and personal interpretations that incarcerated male youths make as they listen and respond to selected pieces of young adult literature. The study utilized qualitative and quantitative methodology to gather information about incarcerated youth and their responses to young adult literature. The results of this study indicate that artistic response is another vehicle incarcerated male youth may use when responding to young adult literature. The findings did show that artistic response coupled with interviews provided a forum for youths to understand young-adult literature while they enjoyed an aesthetic activity. The youths also learned about themselves, including concerns and attitudes surrounding their situations. The conclusions reached from the analysis of data reflect the importance of allowing youth to respond artistically.
