The topic of my final paper is a picture book as a motivation for artistic creativity in kindergarten. Children come across different picture books every day at home and in kindergarten, and although they do not yet know how to read, they like to leaf through them, look at illustrations or listen when someone else reads to them.This final paper consists of two parts, theoretical and practical. In the first part of the paper, the concept of a picture book is defined and the history and development of children's literature through the past is presented. The importance of the picture book and its role in child development is also mentioned. In addition to activities that include reading picture books, children are very happy to be involved in art activities, so this paper explains the concept of art language and art culture, art techniques used in educational work with children of early and preschool age and goals of art culture and the importance of art activities. The second, practical part of this paper presents an art activity that was conducted with children in kindergarten. Activity I came from children aged 3, 4 and 5. The motivation for originated art activities was the picture book. The motivation before the art activity, the process of artistic creation itself is described in detail, and at the end some of the children's works that stood out were analyzed. I guess the picture book will serve as an effective motivation for children's art. In the conclusion of the final paper, I will state whether my hypothesis was correct and what are the outcomes of this artistic activity.
