This study aims to study the impact of visual arts activities based on differences on high school students’ attitudes of respect for differences and emphasizes the importance of participating in the teaching of visual arts in activities that can develop students’ attitudes of respect for differences. The study used the non-equivalent control group method of the pre-sontest semi-experimental pattern. First of all, the experiment and control group was applied as a pre-test of the Difference Respect Scale (FSÖ) developed by the researcher. Then, in the process of application, the 8 visual arts events prepared to develop their attitudes of respect for differences to the experimental group, and the control group implemented the Visual Arts Teaching Program. At the end of the test process, the FSÖ was applied as the last test to the test and control groups. The data of the study was analyzed using Mann Whiney U and Wilcoxon tests from non-parametric tests through the SPSS package program. The results of the analysis found that the tests and control groups were equal before the application. While there is a significant difference between the test group received points from the 3 sub-dimensions before and after the program applied and the scale’s entire scale; there is no significant difference between the control group received points from all sub-dimensions and the scale’s entire scale. Experimental and control groups have found significant differences in the results of the program following the 3 sub-dimensions and the points they obtain from the entire scale in favor of the experimental group. According to these findings, visual arts activities based on respect for differences have shown that children’s attitudes of respect for differences have developed significantly.
