Abstract

Art therapy has been recognized as an effective method for enhancing emotional well-being, particularly in children. This study is a literature review aimed at examining the impact of art therapy on children's emotional well-being. Through the analysis of various literature sources, the research explores how the creative process in art therapy can help children express emotions, cope with stress, and improve social skills. The study highlights various forms of art therapy, such as painting, drawing, and clay modeling, which provide a space for children to freely express themselves without fear of judgment. Additionally, art therapy has been proven to support psychological and emotional development, especially for children with trauma or emotional disorders. This research is expected to provide insights into the benefits of art therapy in the context of children's education and mental health.
