Abstract
Studying the way in which art is employed for learning languages by girls or boys will reveal the attitudes and beliefs of a society. The best way we can analyze the differences laying in between girls and boys in the real life is to observe them using art as a tool while learning. In this study the researcher has focused mainly on learning English as a second language. This study is an attempt to explore the status of gender differences when applying art. The main purpose is to provide an inclusive collection of gender differenceswhen applying art in order to learn the second language. As a whole asymmetries between boys and girls are depicted through art as a medium. Overt expression of art appreciation and application is observed in different terms. This paper elaborates on the above theme by providing practical documents of a limited number of students from the upper level families of the northern part of the Capital of Iran, Tehran. The participants are in pre-school level. Both classes are taught by the same instructor. The proper teaching amount is almost the same. The author has taught both classes through holistic approach, while a class is held only for boys and the other held only for girls based on Iran Educational System rules and regulations.
