During the development of a young human, art can be one of the elements of therapy allowing for a variety of creative experiences, with the help of which the child expresses and determines oneself, but also shapes one own self-assessment and improves well-being.

In the first part of the article, the author reviewed the theoretical art therapy and the use of art therapy in public school. Then, based on the results of own scientific research, the analysis of the literature and own pedagogical experience, the autor presented a number of solutions, which are helpful in supporting the creative development of children from socially disadvantaged backgrounds who use activities in day support institutions (out-of-school education).
