Research examines how an activity-based visual arts education program improves the social skill levels of children aged 7–12 who are in need of protection. Using a group of 14 children from care institutions in Istanbul, the study compares social skill total scores between pre-test and post-test and evaluates differences by gender, parents’ status, participation in arts or sports activities, and dominant hand use. Results show significant prediction from pre-test to post-test, with subgroup effects tied to those personal variables.
