Cross-curricular Integration in the Case of Contemporary Arts Implementation in the Eighth Grade of Primary School. The article presents a case involving implementation of contemporary visual arts in the teaching of arts in the eighth grade of primary school. In the research process we were primarily interested in a range of approaches (in three steps) that prepared students for learning and understanding contemporary visual arts. The last step involved the crosscurricular integration of subjects in order to meet the learning objectives of the school subjects involved. Students expressed their attitudes towards everyday situations through creative artistic work. Varied approaches in the planning and realisation of the artistic tasks posed a challenge for students in achieving creative artistic expression and shaping their own views of the given problem. Through the originality of ideas, the researched allowed us to perceive progress in creativity. At the same time, we also noticed increased student sensibility in experiencing and understanding certain contemporary artworks. V prispevku je predstavljen primer implementacije sodobne likovne umetnosti v pouk likovne umetnosti v osmem razredu osnovne šole. V raziskovalnem procesu so nas zanimali različni pristopi (trije koraki), ki so učencem omogočali spoznavanje in razumevanje sodobne likovne umetnosti. Zadnji korak je predstavljal medpredmetno povezovanje z namenom realizirati učne cilje vključenih predmetov. Učenci so skozi likovnoustvarjalno delo izražali odnos do vsakodnevnih situacij. Različni pristopi pri načrtovanju in realiziranju likovnih nalog so učencem predstavljali izziv za kreativno likovno izražanje in oblikovanje lastnegaodnosa do določene problematike. V raziskavi smo skozi izvirnost idej zaznali napredek pri ustvarjalnosti. Hkrati smo zaznali večjo senzibilnost učencev pri doživljanju in razumevanju nekaterih sodobnih likovnih del
