This study, using literature, explores the theory of socially engaged art, along with formative activities that feature elements of socially engaged art that contribute to the realization of an educational curriculum that is open to society. This study clarified the effects of the formative activities. Therefore, the theory of socially engaged art encompasses antagonism, an experience that changes how one views, feels, and thinks about children and others, and articulation, which creates or reshapes the relationship between children and others. A literature survey revealed that emotional experiences that change the way children and others see, feel, and think can lead to a reshaping of existing relationships between children and others, as well as the formation of new relationships between children and others. This study demonstrated the effects of formative activity creating social aspects by doing things.
