This article presents the results of a study aimed at exploring the development of creativity in preschool children aged 4 to 5 years. It examines art therapy methods designed to foster children's creativity and evaluates their effectiveness in both individual and group work. The study is based on an analysis of psychological and pedagogical experience, as well as empirical data obtained through the application of art therapy methods described in Joseph S. Renzulli’s book "New Directions in Creativity."

The research findings indicate positive qualitative and quantitative outcomes in responses to key questions that required detailed answers, including drawings of objects with a broad semantic range, comments on the drawing process, and descriptions of the functional possibilities of the depicted objects.

It was concluded that after sessions utilizing art therapy methods, the level of creativity in preschool children showed positive dynamics, demonstrating the effectiveness of the conducted work.

The findings of this article may be beneficial for psychologists, educators working in preschool institutions, and students of pedagogical specialties during their practical training.
