This paper will discuss the connection between emotions and children's artistic creativity. The work is divided into two parts - the first part theoretically deals with emotions, how we share them, explains children's artistic creativity, types of motivation and how art therapy can help children with certain developmental difficulties. The second part consists of practical work carried out in the Kindergarten Gajnice on May 10 and May 13, 2022. In order to make the connection between emotions and children's artistic creation as clear as possible, the works of children from three mixed educational groups were collected, one of which includes children from 2 to 4 years old, while in the other two there are children from 3 to 7 years old. The works are the result of children's artistic creation, which contained a different theme in each educational group. All children were motivated by conversation, but also by reading picture books, music and conversation during their stay in the kindergarten yard. Each attached drawing was chosen for its originality, the special way of approaching the artwork and conveying the message that is written under each work. During the selection of children's artwork, the story that each child used to describe their artwork was important in order to assign certain emotions to the artwork that were evoked at that moment. The drawing is the result of the child's effort, dedication and representation of what cannot be spoken. It is desirable to give children as many opportunities as possible to freely express themselves through drawing in order to see how their development is progressing and whether they are capable of presenting themselves in the same way. The freedom of creation needs to be interrupted and a real variety of materials must be offered in order to clearly see the child's progress, his possibilities and abilities.
