Sažetak

This paper presents the results of a research on students' reactions to 20th-century
visual artworks. The research involved 300 students attending lower grades of
primary school (Grade 1-4) from Split-Dalmatia County. The aim of the research
was to examine the reactions of students to the works of the famous Pop Art artist
Andy Warhol, using the method of aesthetic transfer. The task of the students was
to describe their impression of the observed paintings of Marilyn Monroe and Coca-
Cola. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that Grade 1-4 students
react positively to the mentioned artworks. Most of the children accepted the works
of the famous artist. Students were expected to react differently to the observed
artworks with respect to gender and age, while the research showed that a statistically
significant difference existed in only one segment of the research. Additionally, the
emotional engagement aroused in students by the observed works was studied. The
results in the reception phase show students mostly react emotionally to the observed
artworks. Furthermore, the artworks in the reaction phase showed interesting
creative variations on the artwork of the famous artist, which means that they
inspired the students to a creative aesthetic response. Apart from getting acquainted
with 20th-century artworks, we can see from these examples that they can also be a
good stimulus for articulating students' own artistic expression.
