The current research is aimed at determining the effectiveness of the teaching painting on decreasing the amount of anxiety in third grade elementary school boys from the second educational district in Tehran in 88-99.The method of research is semi-experimental using pre-test and post-test in a randomized assigned intervention and control groups. To do so, an elementary school among the boys branch of the second educational and pedagogical district was randomly selected, then 123 students were assessed by children questionnaire in anxiety scale. Thirty anxious students were selected and put randomly in experimental group (n=15) and 15 others in control group. Then teaching painting was given to experimental group for ten sessions and each session took forty minutes and to the controlled group no teaching was given. After teaching, both controlled and experimental groups were given posttest respectively. To analyze the data, the covariance interpretation was given. The results indicate that there is significant difference between controlled and experimental groups that show the efficiency of teaching painting in anxiety reduction.
