The way that kids express themselves through the art is innate ability they are born with it. That is the way and they communicate and figurate. With that kind of communication kids can express their mental and physical health. During their childhood they go through certain phases. As the time pass by, they go through phases of cognition, physical, emotional and other phases in the same way they go through specific artistic phases: phase of scribbles, childhood phase, respectively intelectual realism and then the phase of visuallistic realism. They are conditioned by age, their opinion and access of environment. Some kids that lived trough some kind of trauma, they have some specific fears and frustrations, so the most common and the easiest way to express themselves is through the paintings of some kind of poems (on paper). The method you can use in situations like that is called „art therapy“. Definition of art therapy can summarize as „integrative, psychological, hermeneutic approach that includes using a lot of different elements of art with specific target of faster recovery of individual.“ (Škrbina, 2013:46). Art therapy is separated to music therapy, therapy that includes dancing and some sort of moving, specific body language, art expression, dramatization, psychological-drame therapy and literature therapy. So the roots of art therapy are even from the time of shamanism and there are lots of psyhologyst that had a very important influence in development of art therapy like Adrian Hill and the initiator of art therapy Edward Adamson. There are also lots of models that can help you to understand art therapy. First of them is continuously expression model, whose founders are Kagin and Lusebrink. There are four levels of that model: sensorimotor-kinetic, perceptual-active, cognitive-symbolic and creative level. The rest of models are: model of presentation, model of creative axis (this model is also in different levels): phase of contact, phase of organization, main topic, elaborations and preservation. Artistic therapy in educational sistem (working with kids in school and kindergartens) is also a part that is connected with art therapy. Also, in art therapy there art certains ways of how to work with kids and that can be from individual to team approach. Drawing is very important factor in diagnostic and also in therapy with mental disturbance, according to experts Kondić i Dulčić, and that can be used as resource in helping with kids development as a projective-diagnostic, communication and therapy resource. Another thing that can help are psychotherapy approach in which they highlight including of parents. They can help the proces to be more effective. At the end, in example that includes way experience in kindergarten Vrbik Zagreb, we used one of potential methods in art therapy. Kids in kindergarten were enabled to artisticly express their fears and feelings using drawing as instrument of expression.
