BASICS OF OFF-PRINTING AS AN ART FIELD IN THE FIRST AGE GROUP OF KINDERGARTEN. OFF-PRINTING - PRINTING AS ONE OF MANY POSSIBILITIES OF CHILDREN\u27S ART CREATION

Moja diplomska naloga je projektno delo, sestavljeno iz teoretičnega in empiričnega dela. V teoretičnem delu smo predstavili likovno vzgojo v vrtcu in njen pomen za razvijanje likovne sposobnosti in ustvarjalnosti predšolskih otrok. Predstavili smo tudi cilje in načela pri likovni umetnosti, razvojnopsihološke značilnosti v prvem starostnem obdobju, teorijo in značilnosti projektnega dela. Podrobnejše smo predstavili grafiko, njen razvoj, tehnike in otrokove prve izkušnje z grafičnim ustvarjanjem. V empiričnem delu smo predstavili projekt, v katerem so se otroci prvič seznanili z nekaterimi grafičnimi tehnikami – z odtiskovanjem in s tiskom. V projekt so bili vključeni otroci prvega starostnega obdobja (1–3 let), ki so na različne materiale in podlage odtiskovali svoje prste, dlani, stopala, obuvala, pečatnike … Rezultati dela – izdelki so pokazali, da je novo likovno področje – grafika zelo pritegnilo otroško pozornost, jih motiviralo in spodbudilo k ustvarjanju, otroci pa so ob tem doživljali občutek ugodja in veselja. Preko dejavnosti so otroci spoznavali nekaj novega, z dobro motivacijo in lastno dejavnostjo so bogatili svoje sposobnosti, domišljijo in pridobivali bogate izkušnje.My diploma work is a project based on theoretical as well as empirical work. We have presented art classes, its meaning for developing art skills in kindergarten and their creation at preschool children in the theoretical part. The goals and principles at art classes, developmental-psychological characteristics at the first age group, the theory and the characteristics of a project work have also been well presented. We have introduced the graphics and its development, the techniques as well as child’s first experience with them into details. The empirical part is focused on the project work, where children have met some of the graphical techniques for the first time. These techniques were off-printing and printing. Children of the first age group of kindergarten (age 1-3) were included in this project. They off-printed their fingers, palms, feet, shoes, signet rings ... into different materials and groundings. The results of this work have shown that this new field of art – graphics, has gained children’s attention and affection. It has motivated them, encouraged them to create and the activity itself has provoked many feelings of delight and happiness. Throughout these activities children have learned and met something new. With good motivation as well as their own activity, they have enriched their skills, imagination and as a result they have gained some rich experience
