In this arts program, these two organizations provide socially marginalized students with a chance to experience arts and cultural education. By participating in art localized traditional art activities, students are given a sense of the importance the arts have in their individual lives, connecting themselves with their emotions, improving their power of expression and creativity allowing students to gain confidence and fulfillment. The paper reports the research results using the program concepts; expression, art making, decoration, exploration of traditional arts' meaning, and the experiencing of traditional art. It notes the utilized art activity forms of direct experience, such as designing and creating works of art for one's self. The main program content focus, Dok-paper dolls making, a traditional Korean art, is shown to be the way that lower grade levels are provided an aesthetic experience while upper grade levels explore hands-on activities. This paper will show how the program was implemented and will share the analysis of the data and the researchers' conclusions. This paper is a case study of improving creativity through providing the students in an economically, socially, culturally isolated region with proper opportunities of art and cultural education.
