The research methodology is based on a combination of systemic, competency-based, personally oriented and activity-based approaches, which provide a comprehensive analysis of the process of professional training of future teachers. The research was implemented on the basis of the «Bila Tserkva Humanitarian and Pedagogical Professional College», which trains future primary school teachers. The scientific novelty lies in substantiating the feasibility of integrating art therapy technologies into the system of professional training of future primary school teachers, identifying pedagogical opportunities for using art therapy as a means of developing emotional competence, creative potential, professional reflection and psychological stability of future teachers. Based on the results of the study, the most common areas of use of art technologies in the educational process were identified and the prospects for further implementation of such technologies in the professional training of future teachers were outlined. Conclusions.
