Summary/Abstract: The usual, but overtaken classification of the goals of the teaching fine arts are divided into educational and pedagogical. However, a large number of serious pedagogues and methodologies, whose attitudes and opinions the author fully agrees with, as the goal of teaching of fine art, distinguishes the therapeutic goals, apart from the above mentioned goals. As a part of teaching of fine art, the therapeutic goals are the most important for the teaching of fine arts in working with vulnerable categories students, because through this goal the teacher can be introduced to the inner world, psychology and social needs of each student, and especially those with whom the usual communication is difficult or even disabled. We’ll deal with the definition of the term art therapy, the one that is often misinterpreted and misunderstood, its origin, different theories and approaches, but also point out the differences in relation to arts in therapy.
