Color as an visual element in children's artistic expression

U ovom radu daje se kratak pregled o temi boja u likovnom izrazu djece predškolske dobi te se govori općenito o boji, ali i odnosu djeteta prema boji. Boje dijelimo na: šarene ili kromatske i nešarene (neutralne ili akromatske). Boja također pripada u psihički element slike. Djeca uče Ostwaldov spektar koji ima šest boja (tri primarne i tri sekundarne). Također u ovom radu dobiva se pregled o korištenju boja u likovnom stvaralaštvu djece predškolske dobi i upoznajemo se sa mišljenjima raznih autora koji nam približavaju prošlost, slikarske tehnike, upotrebu sredstava, igre te simboliku boje kod djece.In this work I gave you a brief summary of the theme of colors in preschool children’s art expressions where we talk about color in general, but also about children’s relationship with color. We divide colors by: colorful or chromatic or non-colorful (neutral or achromatic). Color is also an psychical element of paintings. Kids learn Ostwalds spectrum which has six colors ( three primary and three secondary). As well in this work you get a view of using colors in preschool children’s art expressions nad we get to know the opinions of various authors which give us a closeup of the past, art tehniques, usage of materials, play and symbolic of the colors with children
