The topic of this final paper is van Gogh as an incentive in children's artistic creation, how van Gogh and his works can influence children and what children can adopt through this process. Van Gogh is a Dutch painter and is a very famous and respected artist. In his works, he showed originality and a unique and impressive style. Vincent lived a difficult and poor life and, unfortunately, he received recognition only after his death. One of the goals of this work was to bring van Gogh and his works closer to children, and also to connect his works with children's art. Artistic expression plays a big role in the life of every child, through it the child can fully express himself, he surrenders himself completely, and this leads to different knowledge, developing imagination and concentration, and relaxing the body. Art in a child arouses curiosity and excitement, therefore it is important to encourage different ways of artistic expression in children so that they can get to know the world and themselves in this way. By studying van Gogh's works, the child could see the wealth of colors and emotions that the artist used to express his inner state, how we can connect color and emotion, and how art can be a means of communication with the world, but also with oneself. The activities were carried out in the kindergarten "Travno" in the mixed group (3-7 years old) "Professor Baltazar". Van Gogh's works served as an incentive and motivation for children's artistic expression. It is of great importance that children, during such activities, apart from observing and commenting on various works of art, develop a positive image of the world they live in and of themselves. It is important that they understand that each of them is special and unrepeatable, that each of them leaves a note of their uniqueness through their artistic expression.
