Art therapy is the type of therapy in which individuals use the process of art as a means of expression and communication with adults and children. It can be applied to anyone, regardless of whether the individual has any developmental difficulties, traumas, fears or simply wants to express himself, to ease the soul. For many, it serves as an exhaust valve that allows individuals to express feelings with the media and material that suits them. The history of art therapy has long roots, and its development has been influenced by many authors who have managed to achieve the application of art therapy for various purposes. Art therapy is great for working with children who have problems with fears. It is important to mention one of the most important fears - the fear of going to school. It appears approximately at the age of six and can greatly affect a child’s life. Artistic expression in art therapy can help children express what they feel through nonverbal communication. Educators should also encourage artistic expression in activities with elements of art therapy if they are not qualified to conduct actual art therapy. This paper mentions such an activity in kindergarten where children were asked to draw their fears which were later commented on. The educator is not qualified to analyze the drawings but only to provide the child with an opportunity to express himself and to listen to the child’s description of his artwork. Although children are familiar with their educators and kindergarten is their safe place, as in art therapy, some feelings are easier to express nonverbally, such as the fear of going to school. School is a whole new, unknown situation in which a child finds himself. He doesn't know what awaits him, he imagines all sorts of scenarios and all those thoughts scare him. In this situation, in art therapy, the therapist will jump in and help the child. They will guide him through therapy, listen, ask questions, help choose the material if the child can't, comment on the product of children's creativity. Most important of all, the art therapist encourages children to express his fear and to observe it. He will see that his fear has become something concrete, noticeable, that it is not trapped in his imagination but is visible on paper, and thus becomes less frightening. This is just one of the steps in dealing with fear. As the therapy progresses, the art therapist will use, with each new obstacle, those techniques and ways of working that will be the best for the child and that will help the child to cope and overcome fear in order to continue to function in the best possible way in life.
