Katja Kozjek Varl, Matjaž Duh Abstract The article presents the implementation of fine arts lessons in the ninth grade of elementary school (14 - 15 years old pupils), which was prepared in accordance with the guidelines of contemporary fine arts pedagogical practice, with emphasis on contemporary fine arts. The study compared pupils' attitudes to contemporary fine arts before and after working with contemporary fine arts and recorded the course of teaching at the level of contemporary visual arts practices. We were interested if the incorporation of contemporary artistic practices into the process of teaching fine arts to pupils is an impetus for the formation of their own ideas, and thus for development of a critical attitude and encouragement of individual’s critical thinking. The results of the research indicate a positive attitude of pupils towards contemporary fine arts, in terms of their ability to express themselves, as well as the development of individual’s critical attitude both to the discussed contents and to the current topics. Keywords: art education, elementary school, contemporary art, fine art creativity [1]M.Sc.
