Abstract
Aesthetic transfer method applies to acquainting students with artistic
work. This is a type of qualitative method, which entails an analytical observation. When using this method, the presentation of works of art should be such that the observer (the student) is brought to interact with the art, in order to carve sensations into the memory, experience, feelings, and association. The basic rule related to the reproductions of works of art is that they must be realistic and high-quality, so that the reproduction loses as little of the original content as possible. This study applies the method of aesthetic transfer and the reactions of third-and fourth-grade primary school students to the art of the painter Vincent van Gogh are recorded. The research was conducted on a sample of a total of 216 students, out of whom 105 were third-grade and 111 were fourth-grade. Among the subjects there were 117 boys and 99 girls. The students were shown four of the artist’s works. The results of the research show positive reactions of the students to the works of art, but also the differences in those reactions with regard to their gender and age. Research has pointed to the need for and the spreading of the artistic knowledge of the students to make their emotional, artistic and creative development as successful as possible.
