PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ART ACTIVITIES IN THE PRESCHOOL MIXED-AGE GROUPS

Diplomsko delo z naslovom Načrtovanje in izvajanje likovnih dejavnosti v starostno kombiniranih oddelkih vrtca v teoretičnem delu predstavlja celosten razvoj predšolskega otroka s poudarkom na njegovem zaznavnem razvoju in razvoju likovnega izražanja. V teoretičnem delu je predstavljen Kurikulum za vrtce, kot dokument, ki predstavlja strokovno podlago za delo v vrtcu ter likovno izražanje predšolskih otrok. Predstavljena so načela, naloge in cilji ter likovna področja in likovne tehnike. Podrobno so predstavljena tista likovna področja in likovne tehnike, ki sem jih uporabila pri empiričnem delu. Empirični del zajema raziskavo, s katero sem želela ugotoviti, katere likovne dejavnosti so primerne za delo v starostno kombiniranih oddelkih. Raziskovalni vzorec je bila skupina otrok, starih od drugega do šestega leta starosti. Otroci so ob številnih ponujenih likovnih dejavnostih imeli možnost z lastno aktivnostjo pridobivati številna nova znanja in izkušnje. Interpretacija rezultatov je podana v zaključnem delu empiričnega diplomskega dela.In the first, theoretical part of my diploma work I discuss the holistic development of the preschool-aged children. The emphasis is put on their perceptional development and the development of their artisic expression. The basis for proffesional work and developing artistic expression of children in the preschool age is the kindergarten curriculum that is also presented in the theoretical part. The principles, tasks and goals are discussed along with artistic fields and techniques. Special emphasis is put on discussing the artistic fields and techniques that were used in the empiric part. The empiric part of my diploma work includes the survey. Its aim was to find out which art activities are to be used with children in age combined classes. The children in the sample group were between two and six years old. They were offered a number of different art activities which – accompanied with their own activity – gave them a chance to acquire new skills and experiences. Interpretation of the results is discussed in the closing part of the diploma work
