This chapter presents a case study on the social value of art education in South Korea during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on the role of teaching artists in a blended program titled “Telling My Story in a Picture Book.” This program was developed to explore the identities of middle school students amidst the pandemic’s challenges. With the pandemic’s onset, South Korea transitioned to online learning in 2020, profoundly affecting traditional, sensory-based art education. This study addresses the limitations of online art education, which lacks shared physical space and limits aesthetic experiences. The program, conducted over 17 weeks from September 2020 to January 2021, engaged first-year students at a Seoul middle school in creating picture books based on their experiences of the new normal. The study explores how teenagers perceive and experience this new reality through nine themed picture books. Findings underscore the importance of arts and humanities education in highlighting life’s universal values and affirm the significant role of teaching artists in adapting to post-Covid educational contexts.
