The beginnings of a linear perspective in Oskar B's drawings - case study

Perspektiva predstavlja određen pogled na svijet, odnosno što se u nekom vremenskom razdoblju smatralo važnijim, a što manje važnim. Srž sposobnosti likovno-umjetnički darovitog djeteta je vizualno-prostorna prijevremena razvijenost koja omogućava uhvatiti obrise trodimenzionalnih predmeta na dvodimenzionalnoj površini. Darovita djeca često sama sebe obrazuju čitajući, priključujući se izvannastavnim matematičkim grupama ili školskim novinama te takva iskustva mogu biti daleko poučnija od redovnih nastavnih sati. Stoga je vrlo važna pravilna podrška škole i osiguravanje dodatnih sadržaja takvoj djeci. Cilj ove analize slučaja bio je promatrati može li sedmogodišnje dijete samostalno razumjeti i usvojiti perspektivu koja nije specifična za njegovu dob. Istraživanje je provedeno s učenikom prvog razreda u jednoj osnovnoj školi u Osijeku. Rezultati su pokazali kako je ovaj likovno daroviti dječak vrlo lako razumio i spontano usvojio linearnu perspektivu.Perspective represents a certain look at the world, what was considered more important at a certain time and what was considered less important. The core ability of an artistically gifted child is a visual-spatial premature development which allows the contours of three-dimensional objects to be captured on a two-dimensional surface. Gifted children often educate themselves by reading, joining extracurricular math groups or school newspapers and these additional experiences can be way more informative than regular school classes. That is why it is very important that schools support them properly and make sure they receive extra content. The purpose of this case study was to observe whether a seven-year-old child is capable of understanding and adopting a perspective atypical for his age on his own. This study was conducted with a first grade student at a primary school in Osijek. The results show that this artistically gifted child easily understood and spontaneously adopted a linear perspective
