Identifier	Thesis 1774
Author	Stifel, Jessica L., 1975-
Title	Beyond visual imagery and imagination : a connection between art-making and the reading process / Jessica L. Stifel
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2004
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	This qualitative inquiry investigated whether the integration of art-making could enhance children's reading comprehension and recall skills. With the implementation of an extra-curricular after school club, I was able to utilize interventions that would be most beneficial after careful reflection on how children were responding to each of the activities through an action research organizational structure. Some of the interventions included making art after the reading process and at different stages throughout the reading process. The art activities conducted included painting and drawing with a variety of artistic media through activities such as summative artwork, storyboards, and sequential illustrations based on the reading. In addition, we also read and reflected upon stories through group discussion rather than creating art. This allowed me to compare how well children recalled facts about the story in both circumstances. The participants of this study included third and fourth graders who enjoyed both art and reading each to varying degrees. The students had the opportunity to engage in the Art and Reading Club from February through May of 2004. The data collected included questionnaires completed by both members and their parents before and after the clubs' duration in order to determine whether their experiences had any effect on their interests and perceptions of art-making or reading. Reading comprehension and recall were also tested through a variety of assessments. In addition, I attempted to observe the students' progress of including story details in their artwork and sequencing the story appropriately. The findings indicated that students provided more in depth writings recalling what they had read when they were given the opportunity to reflect on the story through art-making, particularly when it was included throughout the reading process, rather than as a reflective activity after the text had been read. Findings also indicated additional benefits to the children that went beyond the research question. These benefits included: (a) an increased confidence in their artistic abilities, (b) increased engagement in leisure time art-making and reading activities, (c) increased interest in making art based on the stories they read, and (d) an increased understanding of the significance of visual literacy. Parents also indicated that this club experience had positive effects on their children, including increased dialogue about stories the students were reading with their families as well as an ability to be more descriptive when retelling those stories to others.
