This creative project was to develop a curriculum art Package for special education students in the seventh grade, enabling them to work independently within an art class for normal seventh grade students.The package was developed in such a way that special education students would learn skills that would help them in their everyday environment, as well as giving them a pleasing end product that would encourage a feeling of self-worth.Observations were made in training centers for the handicapped in New York City to obtain information on developing the package. From these observations certain needs became apparent: learning to cope with the environment; art skills should be relevant to their environment; repetition was essential in a learning situation; students needed to experience a feeling of self-worth; and emphasis should be Placed on teaching special education students to be more independent.
