Photography as a visual expression of pre-school children

Abstract

Vrlo je važno poticati dječje kreativno izražavanje još od najranije dobi. Mogućnosti kreativnog izražavanja se nastavljaju unaprijeđivati te se danas moguće izraziti i vizualnim putem. Novi mediji nisu još toliko zastupljeni u predškolskoj dobi djece te je cilj provedenog istraživanja bio uočiti da li su djeca uspješna pri fotografiranju i odabiru li prije fotografirati ljude ili predmete. Rezultati istraživanja su osnovani na prikupljenim dječjim fotografijama, informacijama koje su djeca dala o fotografijama te deskriptivnoj analizi fotografija. Istraživanje je provedeno u dva dana, a obuhvaćalo je 22 djece predškolske dobi u DV „Bubamara” u Osijeku.It’s very important to encourage children’s creative expression from the early age. Possibilities of creative expressions are continuing to improve and today it’s even possible to express through visual way. New media isn’t represented that much with preschool children and the purpose of the conducted research was to notice are children successful with photographing and do they rather choose to photograph people or subjects. Research results are based on the collected photographs of children, information which children gave about the photographs and on the descriptive analysis of the photographs. Research was conducted in two days with 22 preschool children in kindergarten “Bubamara” in Osijek
