Geometric abstraction and its interpretation by students in art class

Diplomsko delo zajema področje abstraktnega slikarstva oziroma njegovo geometrično inačico, ki se povezuje z lastnim avtorskim delom in zasnovano učno pripravo za izvedbo likovne naloge na srednješolski stopnji izobraževanja. Teorija področja abstraktnih vsebin in lastnega dela je povezana s pregledom historičnih nastankov tega področja. Podrobneje so predstavljeni vodilni avtorji na tem področju: V. Kandinsky (1866–1944), P. Mondrian (1872–1944), K. Malevič (1878–1935) in na slovenskih tendencah Avgust Černigoj (1898–1985). Diplomska naloga raziskuje razne izrazne možnosti abstraktne slike, ki jih ponujajo razna likovna sredstva, mediji in ustrezni likovni elementi. Raziskovalna naloga temelji na mojih lastnih ustvarjalnih izhodiščih, kjer se geometrija tvori kot izpovedna vsebina preko barve, oblike ter linije in drugih likovnih elementov, kot so format slikovnega prostora in mediji. Na koncu je predstavitev likovnih del interpretacije geometrične abstrakcije dijakov srednje zdravstvene šole pri pouku likovne umetnosti v 1. letniku srednje šole.The thesis is focused on abstract art, specifically paintings and its geometric version, which is linked with my own interpretation. Thesis also includes a lesson plan for an art class at the secondary level of education. The theory of abstract arts and my own work is associated with the review of the historical origins of this concept. In thesis I introduce the leading artists in this specific field: V. Kandinsky (1866-1944), P. Mondrian (1872-1944), K. Malevich (1878-1935) and Slovenian representative August Černigoj (1898-1985). The thesis explores the various possibilities of expression in abstract paintings offered by various art assets, media and visual elements. The research in my project is based on my own creative starting points where the form of geometry exists through expressive content of colors, shapes and lines and other artistic elements. Last part of my thesis is a didactic part in which I present various interpretation of geometric abstraction made by first year students of Secondary School of Nursing Ljubljana
