“…Surveys are the most commonly used methodology for collecting information about attitudes and practices (Oppenheim 2003), and have been used in much of the previous work researching attitudes and practices surrounding children's drawing activity (e.g. Barry & Townsend 1995;Kanter & Hoffman 1992;Watts 2005; for a review see Rose et al 2006). Consequently, the methodology for the current study was derived from the previous research in the area.…”

Concept: Few empirical studies have investigated the influence of teachers, parents and children on children's drawing experience. The current study aims to examine the attitudes and practices of these three key players that shape children's drawing experience. Method: A survey methodology was used, as typically found in previous research in this area. Participants were 270 5–14 year old children, 44 of their teachers of the National Curriculum for Art and Design, and 146 of their parents. The teachers and children participated in individual interviews and the parents completed a postal survey. Responses to most interview questions were transcribed and content analysis used to identify salient themes. The other questions involved responses on five‐point scales, these were analysed by reporting percentages. Results: The findings are discussed in five sections. First, the positive perceptions of children's drawing behaviour and attitudes. Second, the perceived importance and principal aims of the National Curriculum for Art and Design Education. Third, the numerous sources of encouragement and support for drawing development. Fourth, the differing perceptions of what constitutes a good and bad drawing. Fifth, issues surrounding an age‐related decline in children's drawing activity. Conclusions: The findings are related to theories of drawing education, and implications for children's drawings and drawing pedagogy are discussed.

“…Developing children's thinking through teaching is an important part of the everyday work of successful teachers (Fisher 2005;Hart 2000). Based on his research, Watts (2005) suggests that young children are capable of developing awareness of the breadth of reasons about art studies. Based on his research, Watts (2005) suggests that young children are capable of developing awareness of the breadth of reasons about art studies.…”

Looking for a Possible Framework to Teach Contemporary Art in Primary School

Traditionally, the learning of arts in the Estonian primary school has meant completion of practical assignments given by the teacher. The new national curriculum for basic school adopted in 2010 sets out new requirements for art education where the emphasis, in addition to practical assignments, is on discussion and understanding of art. The teacher must introduce pupils to both art history and contemporary art. As a result, primary teachers would likely serve their pupils more effectively if they reconsidered their current understandings of art education and update their teaching correspondingly. The action research method seeks to answer the following question: how should one change the art education process in primary school so that in addition to practical activities pupils would have opportunities to talk about and understand contemporary art? The article discusses a framework for modernising art education in primary school. Research shows that primary school learners are open to innovation and thus discussion of contemporary art can become a natural part of primary school art classes. The balance between creating and responding is a key to planning the art education processes today.
