Abstract
This literature review explores the history of art therapy in education. By understanding the history it is clear that art therapy has always been a positive force for students. By learning from the successes and challenges in our history we are better able to plan for future programing and expansion of art therapy programs. Because art therapy was developed in part by educators, the history of art therapy itself is linked with the history of art therapy in schools. In today’s application of art therapy in education there are three models most typically used. The research discusses the strengths and limitations for each. The intersection between the arts in education and art therapy in education is explored. The data supports the use of art therapy in schools and provides a framework for future use. Limitations and suggestions for potential research are provided.
