Subjects for the study were 18(experimental group of 9 and a control group of 9), 6-year-old children who go to S kindergarten which is located in A city, Kyongsangbuk-do. The group art therapy program ran for 15 sessions, twice a week, 90 minutes per session from November 2, 2010 to December 29, 2010. The instruments for this study used an social and emotional development rating scale. Data were analyzed using a ANCOVA with a pre-test as covariance on SPSS WIN 19.0. The findings of this study are as follows. First, group art therapy positively influenced young children's independence to a teacher. Second, group art therapy positively influenced young children's sense of security in kindergarten, and young children's achievement motivation. These findings suggest that group art therapy was effective in improving their social and emotional development.
