Art in Early Medieval Principality and Kingdom of Croatia: A Proposal for Project-based Learning in Secondary School Subject Visual Arts

U ovom se diplomskom radu donosi prijedlog projektne nastave s temom umjetnosti u ranosrednjovjekovnoj Hrvatskoj Kneževini i Kraljevini. Projektna je nastava zamišljena kao izvannastavna aktivnost u trajanju od osam tjedana, a namijenjena je učenicima drugog, trećeg i četvrtog razreda gimnazije. U radu se iznosi važnost uporabe projektne nastave te njeno uklapanje u predmetni kurikulum. Detaljno se izlažu tri dijela projektne nastave: učionička nastava te dvije terenske nastave. Tijekom trajanja projektne nastave naglasak je na samostalnom učeničkom istraživanju odabranih tema, osobnom kontaktu s umjetničkim djelom, kao i na korištenju interaktivnih aktivnosti te metodičkih vježbi kako bi učenici došli do zaključaka i rješenja problemskih zadataka. Projektna nastava završava predstavljanjem projekta u obliku izložbe u prostoru škole, kao i na društvenim mrežama škole.This final thesis presents a proposal for project-based learning that centres around the art in early medieval principality and kingdom of Croatia. The project-based learning is envisioned as an extracurricular activity in length of eight weeks and is intended for the students in second, third and fourth grade of high school. This paper presents the importance of using project-based learning and its integration in the subject curriculum. The three parts of this project-based learning are presented in detail: schoolwork and two fieldworks. The project-based learning emphasizes the importance of independent research on behalf of students, personal contact with the work of art, as well as the use of interactive activities and methodical exercises so that the students could reach conclusions and find solutions to problem tasks. Project-based learning culminates with the presentation of the project in form of an exhibition in school, as well as on the school’s social networks
