Abstract

This article explores the psychological foundations of developing emotional awareness and self-expression skills in preschool children through drawing activities. Drawing is a creative activity that allows children to freely express their inner feelings and plays an important role in their emotional and intellectual development. The article analyzes methods of developing children’s ability to recognize, name, and manage emotions using elements of art therapy. In addition, practical exercises provide methodological recommendations for pedagogues and psychologists.
