Andreja Kljajič ; Primary School Janko Glazer Ruše

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to examine the level of artistic abilities and skills of first grade pupils in the implementation of twelve art teaching units. We wanted to find specific differences among pupils taking into consideration day care in the time of early childhood (parents, grandparents and kindergarten) in order to explain whether parents' education has an influence on the development of artistic skills. Research results show that mother's and father's level of education has a significant influence on pupil's artistic development in the first grade. Taking into consideration the level of skills in the implementation of artistic tasks, pupils whose fathers and mothers have lower levels of education achieve much worse results in individual techniques than pupils whose parents have a higher level of education. Parental role of educated parents is of key importance for the artistic development of a child because they are aware that it is important to spend time with their children in the most active and creative way possible.
