Abstract
This paper presents the outcomes of a study aimed at verifying the impact of
contemporary fine arts on the creativity of twelve-year-old pupils. In the study,
a proven creativity test was used, which was applied in the initial and final
measurement of the quasi experiment on a sample of 75 twelve-year-olds (N = 75).
The results indicate the positive effect of quality contemporary fine art practices on
the development of artistic creativity in twelve-year-olds, specifically, in as many as
five of the six factors of artistic creativity. This is why art education teachers should
be made more aware of the positive effects of contemporary art on the practice of
teaching arts.
