Differences between art types of children

Jedno od područja likovnog odgoja, koje je najviše istraživano, jest razvoj dječjeg likovnog izraza i dječjih radova. Zadnjih nekoliko godina, interes za dječje radove raste. Psiholozi, pedagozi i ostali stručni timovi u svome dijagnostičkom, terapeutskom i savjetodavnom radu uspješno upotrebljavaju dječje radove kao jednu od metoda za bolje upoznavanje ličnosti djeteta, njegove motoričke zrelosti, koordinacije te snalaženja u prostoru. Ni danas se nije stišao interes za dječje stvaralaštvo. Sve što dijete ostvari u području likovne umjetnosti trebamo primati s pohvalama i oduševljenjem kao njegov osobni uspjeh. Rad razmatra mogućnosti stvaranja likovnih radova različitih likovnih tipova djece prema zadanim motivima. Temeljni je cilj ovoga istraživanja utvrditi pripadnost pojedinim likovnim tipovima kod učenika prvog razreda osnovne škole. Istraživanje predstavlja studiju dječjih likovnih radova te je obuhvatilo šesnaestero djece u dobi od sedam godina. Istraživanje donosi detaljnu razradu likovnih tipova pojedinog djeteta. Djeca su kroz nekoliko nastavnih sati likovne kulture slikala, crtala i modelirala prema vizualnim i nevizualnim motivima u optimalnim uvjetima za rad (materijal, prostor). Rezultati su interpretirani i uspoređeni s karakteristikama likovnog izražavanja djece navedenog uzrasta. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da većina djece pripada vizualnom i analitičkom tipu, intelektualnom i likovno kultiviranom tipu, grafičkom i kolorističkom tipu te savjesnom tipu.One of the art's most explored areas is the development of children's artistic expression and children's artworks. Interest in children's art has been growing during the recent years. Psychologists, pedagogues and other expert teams successfully use children's artwork in their diagnostic, therapeutic and counselling work as one of the methods to get to know the child's personality, his motor skills, coordination, and spatial orientation. Even today, the interest in children's creativity has not diminished. Everything a child does in the art field should be met with praise and excitement as his personal achievement. This paper examines the possibilities of creating artwork by the different art type of children according to the set motifs. Primary objective of this research is to determine the belonging of the first grade elementary school pupils to a certain art type. The research represents a study of children’s artwork and it consisted of sixteen kids, age seven. There is a detailed elaboration of what kind of art type is each child in this research. Children spent several classes painting, drawing and modelling visual and non-visual motifs in optimal working conditions (material, space). The results were interpreted and compared with the characteristics of the art expression of the children of the aforementioned age. Research results have shown that most of the children are visual and analytical type, intellectual and trained in art type, graphical and colouristic type, and conscientious type
