A FAIRYTALE AS AN INCENTIVE OF ARTISTIC CREATIVITY IN CHILDREN

The aim of this work was to research the relationship between classic and modern fairytales and children’s artistic expressions. Their relationship was observed with the aid of drawings that children drew after having listened to literary texts. The classic Grimm fairytale of Little Red Riding Hood and the modern fairytale by the Croatian author Pajo Kanižaj that was written on its basis and entitled Stara nova priča o Crvenkapici (The New Old Story of Little Red Riding Hood) were used as literary pattern. A preschool group of children from Zadar “Višnjik” kindergarten participated in the research. Even though the children stated that they liked the fairytales equally, the results of the children’s drawings lead to the fact that children draw mostly what they have verified, preferring known contents (classic fairytales) that were somewhat enriched with details/influences of other media (cartoon, picture books) while, on the other hand, the drawings indicated a significant difference and the ludic features of modern fairytales were not to be neglected which, by merging into national culture, resulted in some new contents in children’s artistic expressions.
