Art is an ideal basis for observing the development of children's abilities and skills. Music and fine arts are interconnected and both influence the development of creativity in children. Music evokes certain feelings and experiences in every person, including a child, while visual language is the spontaneous, sincerest and richest way of expressing these experiences. The aim of this research was to establish how the different tempo and atmosphere of music influences the choice of colors and brush strokes, ie the technique of painting and the combinatorics of all artistic elements. The graduate thesis describes the children's artistic creativity of lower grade students and the concept of play as an indispensable part of children's creativity. The influence of music on the individual and the encounter of students with a work of art that served as a motivation for children's artistic expression are further explained. The second part of the thesis presents the research and its goal, methods, research questions and sample. At the end, the art works of the children are presented and analyzed. The research aimed to establish whether background music influences children's art and in what way, when students are motivated by a work of art. The research was conducted in two fourth grades in the Art Culture class and the task was to paint an abstract art composition, as a play of colors, lines, surfaces and stains, based on a given stimulus (painting work). During the first lesson, students listened to lighter tempo of music and melancholy atmosphere, while during the second lesson, a faster tempo and happier atmosphere song was played. In children's art works the influence of music is visible in painting technique while the choice of colors is wide and varied. During the first lesson, students focused on different painting textures, and second lesson was dominated by painting surfaces. In addition to the influence of music, the influence of artistic reproductions is also visible, so that children's works are combinations of experienced visual and non-visual stimuli.
