Educational potential of fine arts at preschool age

Abstract

The creative potential of art, which is acquired through work processes, is of valuable importance for other areas as well. Children's artistic expression is not only a distinctly artistic activity, but at the same time it is a process of learning and checking one's own possibilities. Given the fact that there is a relative crisis in the teaching of art education, this paper aims to affirm the role and importance of art culture and art, with an emphasis on preschool age. The author starts from a short historical review of fine arts practice in the educational context, after which he emphasizes the importance of fine arts and culture in society in general, and then in preschool education. The paper also talks about the artistic and visual expression of children positioned through preschool age, as well as the importance of the pedagogical influence of the environment.
