Pupil graphical design work and its connection with community problem solving

Jedno od izbornih područja predmeta „Likovna kultura“ je i Primijenjeno oblikovanje – dizajn. Koliko učitelji osnovnih škola u Slavonskome Brodu rade teme iz područja grafičkoga dizajna, te koliko su njihovi učenici upoznati s tim područjem, kao i što bi oni željeli raditi iz toga područja, pokazali su rezultati anketa. Kako ne bi sve ostalo samo teorija, provedene su radionice u trima brodskim osnovnim školama (iz svake škole odabran je jedan četvrti razred). Ideja je bila da učenici naprave proizvod grafičkoga dizajna, tj. plakat koji će biti izložen javnosti na Međunarodni dan rijeka, koji se obilježava 14. ožujka. Da bi učenici stvorili svijest o važnosti očuvanja rijeka, posebno rijeke Save potičući na taj način promišljanje o problemu lokalne razine, bilo ih je potrebno educirati o tome. Najprije je održana radionica iz područja ekologije koja je povezala različite sadržaje, a nakon toga likovna radionica na kojoj su nastali plakati u kombiniranoj tehnici, rađeni u paru. Izložba učeničkih plakata održana je u Galeriji umjetnina grada Slavonskoga Broda. Tom je prilikom popraćena.One of the specific fields in Art that you can choose from is also Applied Design – Design. Teacher surveys have shown that the majority chooses topics in Graphic Design. The survey shows that the majority of pupils choose posters among several topics in this area. To put it into practice, workshops in three primary schools in Slavonski Brod were conducted (in each school one 4th grade was chosen to participate). The idea was to create a graphic design product, that is a poster which would be presented in public on the International Day of Action for Rivers which is celebrated on March 14. There was a need for this type of education in order to raise pupils' awareness about the importance of preserving rivers, especially the Sava River, and in order to encourage critical thinking about the local problems. Therefore the first workshop on ecology was held, which included different contents, and afterwards an Art workshop was held where posters were made in pairs, in a combined Art technique. Each poster includes specially designed slogans made by pupils, which invite audience to think about the problems of pollution and the Sava River. The exhibition of the posters was held in the Art Gallery of the City of Slavonski Brod. The attendance of the exhibition has been followed
