Purpose: This study aims to examine what can be seen in children's paintings, their common characteristics, and what role art therapy plays in diagnosing the post-traumatic stress disorder in children who experienced trauma, through an art therapy program among elementary school students that witnessed the death of parents from a fire drill accident. Methods: A program of three times of art therapy was progressed among 34 children who witnessed a fire accident. Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale (RCMAS) was used for comparative analysis of art therapy results. Results and Conclusion: First, children who had the possibility to develop post-traumatic stress disorder were found through art therapy. Second, an opportunity to express themselves were given to children who refused psychological tests or treatment through art therapy.
