Summary
The article explores some processes that activate the creative potential of 7/8- year old children after mixed painting techniques introduction and application. Changing the stereotype of teaching, using non-traditional painting ways, encourages children towards creative thinking and the development of imagination. Children are familiar with the fine art materials and their capabilities but conducting lessons in the same model with standard materials usage leads to a lack of motivation and creativity. Increasing the number of materials used in one painting, as well as a combination of pictorial with nonpictorial materials makes the art process more interesting, develops fantasy and the imagination.
