ARTISTIC DEVELOPMENT OF FOURTH GRADE PUPILS OF PRIMARY SCHOOL

Sodoben pristop poučevanja likovne umetnosti narekuje učitelju tudi zavedanje pomembnosti razvijanja likovno-ustvarjalnih in likovno-apreciativnih sposobnosti pri učencih. Zaradi aktualnosti obravnavane teme smo v diplomskem delu posebno pozornost namenili spremljanju omenjenih sposobnosti pri četrtošolcih. V teoretičnem delu diplomskega dela opredelimo pojem ustvarjalnosti, predstavimo temeljne vidike ustvarjalnosti, kriterije ustvarjalnosti ter povezavo med ustvarjalnostjo in inteligenco. Nato se osredotočimo na ustvarjalnost pri pouku likovne umetnosti v osnovni šoli ter podamo smernice za izvedbo vrednotenja. Dotaknemo se še dejavnikov likovne ustvarjalnosti, preko katerih smo v empiričnem delu proučevali likovno občutljivost otrok. V empiričnem delu diplomskega dela predstavljamo rezultate raziskave, s katero smo preko dejavnikov likovne ustvarjalnosti preverjali likovno občutljivost četrtošolcev z vidika spola in stratuma. Le-to smo spremljali s testom LV1. Analiza rezultatov je pokazala, da obstajajo statistično značilne razlike med spoloma v perceptivnih sposobnostih ter v skupnih likovno-apreciativnih sposobnostih, in sicer v prid deklicam. Pri ugotavljanju razlik med učenci glede na stratum (mestna in primestna OŠ) niso bili zaznani statistično značilni rezultati.Modern approach to teaching fine art dictates a teacher to be aware of the fact that the development of pupils\u27 art-creativity and art-appreciation skills is vital. Relevance of the treated subject is the reason why special attention was given to monitoring the previously mentioned skills with class 4 pupils. The theoretical part of the diploma thesis deals with the concept of creativity, introduces its fundamental aspects and criteria as well as connection between creativity and intelligence. Then focus is on creativity in art classes of primary school and guidelines for implementation of evaluation. Some words are dedicated to the factors of art creativity which were used in the empirical part to study art sensitivity of children. The empirical part of the thesis introduces the results of the research used to check art sensitivity (as one of factors of art creativity) of class 4 pupils in the light of gender and stratum. This was carried out by use of LV1 test. The results of the analysis show statistically significant differences in gender in perceptive skills and in common art-appreciation skills in the interest of girls. Whereas on the other side the differences in the light of stratum (town and suburban primary schools) show no statistically significant results
