Abstract

In recent years, the use of art activities as a form of care has gained prominence in the field of interpersonal support, leading to widespread implementation of art programs for individuals with disabilities in various facilities. This study aims to synthesize the effects and evidence of these activities by reviewing research trends related to art activities in Japan from 2000 to 2020.The literature reviewed in this study was categorized into three perspectives: (1) the "Artistic Perspective," which analyzes the value of art created by individuals with disabilities from an artistic viewpoint; (2) the "Social Inclusion Perspective," which focuses on building an inclusive society and promoting the social reintegration of individuals with disabilities; and (3) the "Care and Effectiveness Perspective," which investigates the therapeutic effects of art. The characteristics and issues associated with each perspective were comprehensively examined, and critical considerations for conducting art activities in welfare facilities were discussed.
