THE PUPILS\u27 ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE ARTISTIC WORKS OF PAINTERS

Diplomsko delo obravnava odnos mlajših otrok do likovnih del umetnikov, ki je eno izmed pomembnih področij likovnega razvoja otrok. V teoretičnem delu opredeljuje opazovanje in zaznavanje v splošnem pomenu kot tudi opazovanje in zaznavanje likovnih del v izobraževalnem procesu. Ob tem so zajete tudi plasti likovnega dela, ki so pomembne za razumevanje diplomskega dela. Ker pa je naloga osredotočena na mlajše osnovnošolske učence, njihovo opazovanje in vrednotenje likovnih del, je predstavljeno tudi vrednotenje likovnih del, izbira primernih del za likovno vrednotenje ter kako to vrednotenje izvajajmo pri likovni vzgoji. Zadnji del je namenjen nič manj pomembnemu delu likovne vzgoje, in sicer razstavam likovnih del, obiskom galerij in ekskurzijam. Cilj diplomske naloge je ugotoviti, kakšen je odnos učencev do izbranih likovnih del umetnikov, kako likovna dela opazujejo, jih opisujejo in vrednotijo pa tudi kakšna čustva v njih vzbujajo posamezne reprodukcije likovnih del priznanih umetnikov. V raziskavi so sodelovali učenci prvega, tretjega in petega razreda mariborske osnovne šole. Podatki so bili zbrani z intervjujem, nato pa so bili na osnovi transkripcije odgovori učencev analizirani. Ugotovitve so pokazale, da so učenci petega razreda bolj dovzetni za likovna dela kot mlajši učenci, njihovi čustveni odzivi pa so bili različni in odvisni od posameznih delvečinoma so likovna dela v njih vzbujala pozitivne občutke. Ugotovili smo tudi, da učenci vseh treh razredov zlahka prepoznajo razliko med dvema likovnima deloma, vendar le takrat, kadar sodita na različno likovno področje.The thesis deals with the attitude of young children towards art works as one of the important areas of artistic development of children. The theoretical part defines the observation and perception in a general sense as well as the observation and perception of art works in the educational process. It also includes layers of art work, which are important for the understanding of the thesis. Because the thesis is focused not only on younger elementary pupils, but also on the observation and evaluation of art works, a part describing how to choose and evaluate appropriate art works, and how to evaluate in art education, is also included. The last part is dedicated to equally important parts of art education, the exhibition of works of art, visits to galleries and excursions. The aim of this thesis is to determine the pupils’ attitude towards selected art works, how they view, describe and evaluate them, and also what emotions individual reproductions of art works awake in pupils. Pupils from the first, third and fifth grade of elementary school in Maribor participated in the survey. The data were gathered by using interview as the research method, and were later analyzed by transcribing them. The findings showed that the fifth grade pupils are more receptive to art works than younger pupils, their emotional reactions were different and depended on the individual works, most of which evoked positive feelings. At the same time, we found that the pupils of all three classes can easily identify the difference between two art works, but only when they belong to different art fields
