Abstract	This research paper investigates the interrelationship between art and education, particularly emphasizing its role in the cognitive and emotional development of children. Drawing on historical perspectives, educational theories, and empirical studies, the paper situates art as both a medium and a method of knowledge acquisition. Through the analysis of ancient to modern educational frameworks, the study outlines the evolution of art as a pedagogical tool and its significance in shaping learning experiences. Special attention is given to stages of child art development and its psychological implications, underscoring the transformative power of visual expression in education. The research further explores the psychological underpinnings of children’s creative behavior, the educational implications of visual expression, and the challenges and opportunities of policy integration. Ultimately, the study advocates for an education system that recognizes and institutionalizes the integral role of art in nurturing a well-rounded, imaginative, and emotionally intelligent learner.
