The thesis entitled "The use of collage in pre-school" consists of an art-theoretical part and an empirical part. The aim of the thesis was to gain insight into the knowledge of collage among kindergarten practitioners and to investigate the use of collage in the pre-school period through the art activities carried out.
The art-theoretical part briefly explains the professional concept of "collage" as an art technique, where the word originates and which art techniques have evolved from collage (assemblage, decollage and photomontage), followed by a more detailed theory of the development of collage through various art periods up to the present day. The birth of collage began during the Cubist period, more specifically during the Synthetic Cubist period, when Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque made the first examples of collage. Artists thus began to incorporate various elements of collage into their artworks and the idea quickly spread throughout Europe. Other artistic techniques also began to develop from collage and have strongly influenced the flow of art up to the present day.
Today, collage is a painting technique that allows for a wide range of creative possibilities using different materials and tools. At the end of the art-theoretical part, I introduce the use of collage in the pre-school period, describe the types of collage techniques, the ways of making collage, the use of different materials and tools and the effects of collage on the development of children's artistic creativity.
In the second part of the thesis, I present the empirical part, which consists of two parts. Through the analysis of a survey of kindergarten practitioners, I present their views, experiences and knowledge about collage as a chosen art medium. In the art-practical part, I focus on the implementation of art activities in the kindergarten, where I identify differences and compare the children's art products.
