Brief summary: This study was designed to examine the effect of picture supported art therapy on visual perception, hand functions, participation and quality of life of children in healthy children.

Detailed description: It is planned that at least 25 children in each group will participate in the study. For both the control group and the study group, the sample of the study will consist of children between the ages of 6-12 who do not have any known disease/disability and show typical development, who voluntarily agree to participate in our study and sign the consent form. In addition, children in the control group should not have participated in any art course.Sociodemographic information will be asked first in the evaluation of the individuals in the study. Then, which hand of the children is dominant will be determined with Edinburg Hand Preference Questionnaire. Visual perception of the children will be evaluated with the shape-ground subtest of the Ayres Southern California Sensory Integrity Test, hand skills will be evaluated with the 9-hole peg test and the sense of kinesthesia in their fingers will be evaluated with the kinesthesia subtest of the Ayres Southern California Sensory Integrity Test. Children's quality of life will be assessed with the Young Child Quality of Life Questionnaire in accordance with their age. The Child and Adolescent Participation Questionnaire will be given to the parents to question the social participation of the children and the Conners Parent Rating Scale will be given to the parents to evaluate the disruptive behaviour disorders. Initial assessments will be made both in the study group and in the control group.The children in the study group will receive painting and drawing-based art therapy for 4 weeks, 2 days a week for 1 hour. After 4 weeks, all evaluations will be repeated.
