Sažetak
In modern school, students become active subjects in their education. The aim of this research was to determine the status of
the school subject of Visual Arts in the eyes of students, therefore
we studied student opinion, perception and experience related to
Visual Arts classes. A total of 192 students participated in the
research, including 78 fourth-grade students (40.6%) and 114
eighth-grade students (59.4%). The research was conducted in
several Croatian villages and smaller towns in Split-Dalmatia
County and Sibenik-Knin County. We used a survey questionnaire
containing six hypotheses and research questions: results processing was done by the use of percentages, arithmetic mean, and
standard deviation, as well as a t-test for independent samples.
The research results show that more than half of the surveyed
students would like to have the weekly number of lessons of
Visual Arts increased. Although they love to participate in classes,
unfortunately as many as 70% of them never visit museums and
exhibitions to communicate with the contents of Visual Arts, and
when they do go to cultural institutions, they are mostly taken
there by their parents. The research proved that fourth-grade students of primary school perceive the subject better than eighthgrade students and assess different aspects of Visual Arts classes
with higher grades. No gender differences were observed in the
perception of the subject of Visual Arts. Finally, we notice that
most students consider Visual Arts an important and useful subject in their education, and most students are happy to attend
Visual Arts classes as this makes them feel relaxed
