Modern family member has been simplified so there are increasing 'Only child'. These children have limited social relationships and will grow into self-centered ego. Also, a couple working together for a living is increasing and their children live lonely in a lot of time, there through immature children in body and mind become feel nervous. Besides, although adolescence should be form their ego-identity as having interaction with their surrounding environment and learning to distinguish between right and wrong, they receive education about not personality but knowledge in school. Accordingly, these issues involve problems with the fundamental relationship of adolescent, parents, and friends. So for leading young people to positive way, adolescence should improve their ego-identity as filling balance with emotion and rationality.
In this paper, I observed the adolescent's establishing and progressing ego-identity by taking advantage of art programs. An object of study was two middle-school girls and I experimented subjects for three months. Except for holidays, I progressed it every Saturday and I observed changes of students' doing and saying in every class.
To enhance students' ego-identity, I applied 'creative thinking techniques', 'reverse painting' and so on for improving self-confidence differentiated with expression centered not to give up at arts. Also, I encouraged them in expression for difficult parts or giving up, so I wanted to improve students' ego-identity as giving them satisfaction and accomplishment. And through the art education programs for students, I induced them to have an interest and motivate in career, and for achieving it, I made greater efforts that they must do their best. With this, I gave them positive effects in forming ego-identity and knew following results.
First, although there was no special ability in art, it was improved students' degree of completion, concentration, and satisfaction as feeling interest to making an object or subject about students.
Second, when they faced with failure or problem as doing art activities, they gained confidence feeling accomplishment, "I can do it" and heard winning praise through finding problem solutions in activities rather than feeling frustrated.
Third, it was improved learning ability and motivated through feedback that it was let them find their expressive technique as focusing their active and free expression rather than comparative evaluation between students.
Fourth, through the art, language of another expression, as maintaining their relationship, students express themselves more effective than express through language, so they get rid of their own fence and it was processed to be able to communicate the curriculum.
To sum up the results, it was improved interest of students through art activities and concentration, satisfaction. This is due to the influence of self-confidence with creative process and a sense of accomplishment, and I knew that it was developed ego-identity effectively compared with other subjects. Also it was enhanced by motivating in students' learning ability on the topic. And the art education programs can communicate with the environment and be a great help to them. In this sense, I attach the meaning of that art activities can be of assistance to form to adolescent's ego-identity.
