Music in art in early and preschool childhood

Likovna i glazbena umjetnost ljudima služe da izraze svoje emocije, ideje. One ih okružuju gdje god se nalazili. Obje umjetnosti imaju utjecaj na dječji razvoj i sastavni su dio života svakog djeteta. Glazbu već čuje i fetus u majčinoj utrobi, a u najranijoj dobi dijete već ima potrebu za likovnim stvaralaštvom. Završni rad se sastoji od teorijskog i praktičnog dijela. U teorijskom dijelu je prikazan utjecaj glazbe na razvoj djeteta i razvoj glazbenih sposobnosti djeteta zatim utjecaj likovne umjetnosti na dječji razvoj te likovni razvoj djeteta i boja u dječjem crtežu. U praktičnom dijelu provedeno je istraživanje utjecaja glazbe na likovni izraz djeteta rane i predškolske dobi. Cilj istraživanja je utvrditi utjecaj glazbe na likovni izraz djece točnije hoće li karakter skladbe utjecati na izbor boja i na sadržaj crteža djece rane i predškolske dobi i hoće li moći prepoznati glavni motiv skladbe te ga onda i likovno prenijeti na papir. Djeca su slušala dvije skladbe različitog karaktera. U istraživanju su sudjelovale dvije vrtićke skupine- skupina 5-7 godina i skupina 3-5 godina. Sveukupno je sudjelovalo 34 djece, svako dijete se dva puta likovno izrazilo, a za analizu istraživanja odabrano je 24 najuspješnijih radova. Radovi su analizirani prema zadanim hipotezama i zadacima istraživanja. Nakon analize i obrade utvrđeno je da glazba ima utjecaj na odabir boje pri likovnom izrazu kod djece rane i predškolske dobi te da djeca rane i predškolske dobi uglavnom ne prepoznaju glavni motiv skladbe. Svrha ovog rada je prikazati moć i važnost glazbene i likovne umjetnosti u djetetovom životu te ukazati kako jedna umjetnost može utjecati na drugu umjetnost.Visual arts and music help people express their emotions, ideas. The two arts surround people wherever they may be. Both arts impact children's development and are components of every child's life. Even the fetus in its mother's womb hears music and the child has the need to create art from the earliest age. This Bachelor's thesis consists of a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part depicts the impact of music on the child's development and the development of the child's musical abilities. It then shows the impact of visual arts on the child's development, the child's artistic development and on the use of colours in the child's drawing. In the practical part a research has been conducted on the impact of music on the artistic expression of children of early and preschool age. The aim of the research was to ascertain a music impact on the children’s artistic expression. To be more precise, the aim was to determine whether the mood of the composition would impact the drawer’s choice of colours and the content of the drawings done by children of early and preschool age. Furthermore, the research aimed at determining whether they would be able to recognize the main motif of the composition and provide an artistic depiction of it on paper. The children listened to two compositions of opposing moods. Two groups of nursery children participated in the research: the age of 5-7 years group and the age of 3-5 years group. Altogether 34 children participated in the research, every child drew twice and 24 of the most successful works were chosen for the analysis of the research. The works were analysed according to standard hypotheses and the tasks of the research. After the analysis and the processing of the data it was ascertained that music affects the choice of colours of drawers of early and preschool age. It was also determined that the children of early and preschool age mostly do not recognize the composition’s main motif. The purpose of this thesis is to show the impact and the importance of visual arts and music in the child’s life, as well as to show how one art can affect the other
