Sensory integration together with art (sculpture) is an activity that involves receiving and modelling stimuli that shape behaviour, perception and learning.
In my thesis, Sensory integration through sculptural activity in the theoretical part, I presented sculpture in the preschool period and sensory integration in relation to sculptural activity.
In the empirical part, I performed seven sculptural activities with different types of materials (clay, sand, soil, das clay, branches, leaves, bark, plaster and arrangement sponge). I used an observation sheet to observe and record the children's reactions when confronted with different sculptural materials and their evaluation of the sculptural result. I was also interested in how the tactile qualities of the sculpture material influence children's desire to reuse each material. I also supplemented the analysis with photo documentation of each activity.
