Memory is a complex process that varies greatly between individuals. There are many different kinds of memories, expressed individually by different individuals, which makes the discussion of memory very complex. In my thesis, I first described the characteristics of memory, how it works and how it is distinguished between different types of memory. I have described working memory and visual memory in more detail, because in the rest of the thesis, memory is linked to the field of art, where one of the most important senses is the sense of sight, through which we perceive the visual world. Many things affect remembering, so I have focused on describing the factors of remembering and forgetting. In the conclusion of this chapter, I wrote a few words about memory in preschool children.
I then turned to the field of art and the influence of the senses, especially sight, on the reception of art. Different senses are involved in artistic creation, each in its own way and with different intensity depending on the artistic field. Many authors point to the importance of art education already in kindergartens, with the aim of influencing its quality. With this growing awareness, I have written below about the development of artistic expression in the pre-school years. I focused on drawing and sculpture, which are the core activities of the empirical work.
In the empirical part, I will present a study on the recall of one's own art products after a certain period of time, which I carried out in a kindergarten. I was interested in the difference in the quality of memory between drawing and sculpture, and I wanted to investigate the factors that might have influenced this. The results showed that children have a very good memory for their own artwork. This can be influenced by production time, autonomy of production, satisfaction with the product and other factors that I have described in the text.
