The influence of art activities on the creativity of junior schoolchildren

Introduction. There is a consensus among practitioners teaching art to children that the very process of art education develops children’s creativity. However, in scientific psychology, there is no consensus on the advantages of children being involved in art, as evaluated by the generally accepted criteria for measuring creativity. The purpose of the study is to identify differences in creativity indicators in children involved and not involved in art, as well as the characteristics of creativity in different types of art.
