Summary/Abstract: Art therapy is one of the ways to help children and young people by using almost any type of artistic creation. All classes related to art are most often perceived by them as demonstrating talent, creating a visually beautiful work – for this reason they are reluctant to take part in such activities. The pedagogue's task is to present art therapy not as typical art classes known to pupils from school, but as “lessons” where they have the chance to release their emotions, relieve stress, and above all learn certain things through play. This type of therapy is an endless source of inspiration for the teacher thanks to the multitude of artistic works offered. For this reason, each conducted class can be extremely interesting for a young person, which is why he will be more willing to take part in them.
