Conceptualization of quality of drawings by older school age authors

v AJ The thesis deals with a question of how the students of the fifth to the eight grade of a primary school conceptualise quality of a drawing artwork. To obtain answers to these questions I conducted a research among primary school students between the fifth and the eighth grade. The pupils were given a task to draw a man and a tree; the created pictures were afterwards a subject of my interviews with the pupils. To analyse the interwiews I used Jan Slavík's criteria. Each of them corresponds to a notion which can be a part of students' reasoning structure. This system enabled me to understand the reasoning concept of the students participating in my research. In the analysis of the students' criteria I was concerned with a question of developmental gradation and came to the conclusion that the difference in frequency in using of criteria among pupils of the fifth and the eighth grade is not remarkable. I observed a difference between pupils of these classes in an amplitude of the used criteria and found out, that younger students use the criteria to a greater degree of diversity. In order to be able to assess the drawings objectively, some of the critiera were specified by certain dimensions. My findings show the paradigm of applying individual criteria together with their dimensions and..
