Abstract art as stimulation for artistic expression of primary school pupils

Abstract

Apstraktna umjetnost nastala je u ne tako davnoj prošlosti. Ona je napravila izrazito veliki utjecaj na kretanje izričaja u likovnim umjetnostima. U odnosu na taj utjecaj pretpostavka je da apstraktna umjetnost može utjecati i na dječji likovni izraz. Cilj ovoga istraživanja je istražiti kako i na koji način likovna djela apstraktne umjetnosti utječu na likovni izraz učenika razredne nastave te hoće li učenici intuitivno usvojiti postupak apstrahiranja pod utjecajem reprodukcija apstraktne umjetnosti. Istraživanje je provedeno u Osnovnoj školi Čazma u Čazmi s učenicima od 1. do 4. razreda. Do rezultata istraživanja došli smo analizom dječjih likovnih radova i anketom. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da djeca mlađe školske dobi pokazuju sklonost za apstraktnom umjetnošću i apstraktnim umjetničkim djelima te da su usvojili postupak apstrahiranja pod utjecajem apstraktnih reprodukcija.Abstract art was developed not a long time ago. It has made an enormous impact on the progress of ways of expression in visual arts. In regard to this impact, the assumption is that the abstract art can also influence children's artistic expression. The aim of this research has been to find out how and in what way pieces of abstract art influence artistic expression of the primary school children and whether the children intuitively accept the process of abstraction under the influence of abstract art reproductions. The research was carried out in the primary school Čazma in Čazma with the children from the first to the fourth grade. The research results have been based on the analysis of the children's art works and the survey. The results have revealed that the junior school children show tendency toward abstract art and abstract pieces of art and that they have accepted the abstracting procedure under the influence of abstract reproductions
