| Abstract [eng] |
The work discusses theoretical analysis of self–esteem formation of persons brought up at the Orphanage. The analysis of impact of educational art therapy is also taken into consideration. The research of Art Therapy lessons has been implemented. The aim of it was to disclose the change of self–esteem of youngsters from the Orphanage during the lessons of Art Therapy. Quality Research Method has been chosen. That is the analysis of a certain case. An interview, observation, the analysis of drawings has been chosen as instruments. The Empiric part analyses the changes of self–esteem of children from the Orphanage during the lessons of Art Therapy by analysing the symbols in the first and the last drawing of a child. The analysed cases of children showed a negative self–esteem. They were not able to describe themselves by words. The symbols of drawings may present that this is the result of long–term failures, negative reactions from surrounding people and repulse. In comparing the first and the last drawing from the lessons of Art Therapy a negative self– esteem is disclosed, a wish to ignore oneself in the beginning of Art Therapy lessons. The start of self–recognition was observed. The self–picturing from an elephant to a princess, from closing oneself to a wish of communication, from being against everything to curiosity and enthusiasm was also seen. |
