<p>As for the phrase “artistic education”, in this paper work, it was used in the way of cultivating individual, authentic artistic talent, of acquiring individual skills, abilities and techniques, with the aim of training artists in different fields of arts, as well as the assimilation of theoretical and practical knowledge from the fields of theory, aesthetics, criticism and history of arts etc., adapted to natural, innate capacities with a view to non-verbal creative expression and development plastic expressiveness. Art education and art therapy have in common the fact that they are forms of applications of art that integrate theories and practices of art pedagogy in a supportive environment: museums, art galleries, ambient art - street or interior - nature, classrooms or creative studios, where artists use the influences offered by the environments specific to the practice of the arts, which by their pluri/inter/trans-disciplinary character, encourage freedom of creation, thought, expression and imagination.
