Sažetak
The purpose of this work was to study the position of art as a school subject through the evaluation, refl ection and attitudes of primary school eighth-graders. The
survey was conducted on the sample of 303 eighth-graders of primary schools in the Splitsko-dalmatinska County.
We herein present the most signifi cant results of the survey: 54.5% of students are satisfi ed with the present time-table of art classes and fi nd the weekly load suffi cient for the class realization; 34.3% of students like to participate in visual-art activities; and 22.4% of them like it very much, which is almost half of the surveyed students. The results of the survey reveal that the highest percentage of them, i.e. 30%, stated to have learned how to use art techniques and materials. A high percentage of students (57.8%) don’t have the habit of visiting museums, galleries or attending art exhibitions, and 54.1% of students reckon that art classes have a moderate infl uence on the development of their personal taste in visual art.
The involvement of pupil’s close family or relatives in visual-art activities has a positive effect on the evaluation of art as a school subject.
Variables such as gender and academic achievement do not affect students’ evaluation of the school subject.
