Art techniques in preschool

Dječje likovno stvaralaštvo bitno je za cjelovit razvoj djeteta. Vrlo je važno djeci nuditi različite materijale i likovne tehnike kako bi usavršavalo svoje znanje i razvijalo kreativnost. Prilikom stvaranja poseban naglasak stavlja se na slobodu izražavanja, ne smije se nametati vlastito mišljenje i viđenje stvarnosti. Kako bismo uspješno održali likovnu aktivnost potrebno je poznavati sve materijale i načine kojima se umjetnici koriste za svoj rad, odnosno likovne tehnike. Likovne tehnike dijele se na tehnike plošnog oblikovanja (crtačke, slikarske i grafičke tehnike) i tehnike prostorno-plastičnog oblikovanja (kiparske). S obzirom na to da nisu sve likovne tehnike primjerene djeci u predškolskoj ustanovi, u ovome radu naglasak je stavljen na tehnike primjerene dječjoj dobi i mogućnostima uz primjere dječjih radova.Children's artistic expression is essential for the overall development of the child. It is very important to offer children different materials and art techniques in order to improve their knowledge and develop creativity.

In order to successfully maintain an art activity, it is necessary to know all the materials and ways in which artists use their work, art techniques. Art techniques are divided into surface design techniques (drawing, painting and graphic techniques) and spatial-plastic design techniques (sculptural). Since not all art techniques are suitable for children in preschool, in this paper the emphasis is placed on appropriate techniques for children and opportunities with examples of children's work
