Art as a tool for Social Emotional Learning (SEL)

How can art allow us to express who we are? MoMA Educators are joined by a licensed social worker and therapist to discuss social-emotional learning (SEL), a process that can help us develop healthy identities, manage emotions, and make good decisions.

Witnessing SEL in progress really drives home how important art can be as a tool for improving individual and community wellbeing. Go MoMa!

I loved to hear the students input and analysis in this! Their joy and curiosity really underscores what the educators and social worker explain about the importance of art to inform and help us express our emotions. Also, a Filipinx person born in diaspora, I was touched by / related to Francis' sharing his memories as a way of engaging with the students and exemplifying his own experience with art at a particularly emotional or complex time in his life. And I'm really interested in Katherine's work and focus on care, and appreciate her note that expanding and growing one's own emotional understanding has an exponential impact on the community. Lovely work, thank you!!!!

I completely agree that SEL is a lifelong journey! Getting your children started as early as possible will only help enrich not only their lives, but everyone around them as well. It will help foster the sense of community and allow them to ask for help when they need it.

You need to train genius to be genius not average to be average. Must try harder.
