Contemporary Artists as an Incentive in Art Education in Primary School from 1 - 4 Grade

Umjetnost se odavno smatra vrlo bitnom za pojedinca i društvo u kojem ţivi, stoga se prije pouĉavala u školama više nego danas. Suvremeno obrazovanje prednost daje STEM podruĉju koje se moţe lako evaluirati, dok se umjetnost smatra odgojnom komponentom koja je vezana uz emocije, pa je stoga u praksi marginalizirana u odnosu na druge predmete u školi. Umjetnost je neophodna za potpuni razvoj pojedinca i cjeloviti razvoj liĉnosti. Nastava likovne kulture kakvu poznajemo danas ne odgovara suvremenom dobu koje traţi drugaĉije metode pouĉavanja. Kljuĉan je faktor i obrazovani uĉitelj koji ima saznanja o djelima suvremene umjetnosti te umije odabrati likovno-umjetniĉka djela primjerena uĉenicima razredne nastave. Uĉenici se otkrivanjem likovno-umjetniĉkih djela trebaju upoznati i s djelima suvremene umjetnosti. Obuhvaćanjem velikog broja likovno-umjetniĉkih djela uĉenici razvijaju kritiĉko mišljenje, a velika pomoć uĉitelju i uĉeniku u tom procesu svakako je i projektna nastava te korištenje novih medija u nastavi likovne kulture.Art is known to be very important for an individual and society in which he lives and was taught in schools in a larger extent than today. Advantage is given to STEM area which is very easy to evaluate while art is considered to have a nurture component connected with emotions and therefore is marginalised in regard to other subjects in school. Art is necessary for total development of individuals and their personality. Art education as we know it today does not match contemporary age which is considered to be critic of modern society, way of life and also seeks different learning methods. Important fact in this is educated teacher who has knowledge about contemporary art pieces, knows how to find them and choose ones that are appropriate for primary school students. Pupils need to get to know contemporary art pieces and develop critical thinking through projects and new media usage
