Abstract
Primary school students engage in different areas of art and various artistic techniques during the art lessons, but the basis for all forms of artistic expression is drawing. The choice of subjects depicted by the students is quite diverse. The way they depict the subject matter is closely related to their stage of development. The easiest way to monitor developmental stages is by analyzing depictions of the human figure. The quantitative empirical research was based on a sample of 27 pupils (n = 27). Their artistic development was monitored during the period of eight months. We were interested in the pupils' progress in terms of artistic‐intellectual, formal artistic and artistic‐creative development considering the entire sample and a subsample based on gender. The research results show that students achieved higher performance in all monitored aspects in the final testing at the level of statistical significance. Girls did slightly better than boys. Teachers aware of fact that the quality of teaching profoundly influences the artistic‐design and artistic‐creative development will find the obtained results positive and useful. The survey results demonstrate the importance of teacher's work in the art‐teaching process, which can greatly contribute to the artistic and general progress of the students.
