In their view, the art method (or the methods of art pedagogy) as more public and “facilitated” in the background of art therapy, allow you to work with the senses: to explore and promote them on a symbolic level, actualize and express conscious and unconscious feelings and needs as well as to express in words for teenager is too difficult. Based on the content analysis of publications on the problem under study, the researchers revealed the presence of the stages in the development of art therapy services and summarizing all the information, obtained data on the experience of countries of the world in the development of national and regional art pedagogical and art therapeutical schools. The content of art pedagogical activity in the prevention of abnormal manifestations in the society on the basis of survey the researchers identified the results after the experimental art pedagogical session, conducted with adolescents and young people of 14-19 years. With the help of analysis of the questionnaire data the researchers established that through the formation of their own creativity, facilitation of adaptation of the individual in society as well as the development of all the senses, memory, concentration, will, imagination, intuition, stress relief, increased emotional tone, confidence, positive attitude is occurred. The statements of the respondents in the open questionnaire questions regarding the materials of art educational sessions allow the researchers to claim that work on the paintings, sculpturing and other ways of working in art pedagogy a safe way to discharge destructive emotions they can work out the thoughts and emotions that people used to suppress, help creative self-expression and the development of imagination, intuition, reduce negative emotional states and their manifestations.
