Abstract
The development of child’s creativity in primary school is not just the task of arts education, but of all school subjects. The overall curriculum should be focused on the development of each person in education, both on the development of her or his knowledge and abilities, and on encouraging creativity in various fields. Respect, release, and development of all child’s potentials is an important condition for creativity, as children have at their disposal a fair amount of abilities needed to create.
In the paper, we present the outcomes of a study in which the level of artistic development of fourth-year students was analysed in Croatian primary schools.
The results indicate that there are differences in the creative levels, manifested as better results in favour of boys. There are also differences in optical-thematic development, in this case manifested as better results in favour of girls.
