The research was conducted in the premises of the SOS Dječje Selo Ladimirevci in the period from April 30 to May 7, 2019. 41 proteges of the SOS Dječje Selo Ladimirevci participated in mentioned research. Among them, there were 25 girls and 16 boys, lower and upper elementary school students. The study was conducted by three groups of 10 and one of 11 participants. Students were divided into groups according to whether they attended lower or higher grades of primary school. The research consisted of two parts. In the first part, participants were introduced to the rules of behaviour and how to participate the test. Then they were presented a block of seven art works. Each art work was experienced by the students for 5 minutes, while they wrote down the associations, thoughts, feelings that came to them while watching the work. They had to rate each artwork by themsleves. After the participants experienced all seven works of art, they had to choose one work that they liked the most. This was followed by a short break for the participants and also time to prepare the second part of research. The second part included independent artistic creation. Each participant had to create two works, the first one performed with acrylic paints, and the second work was recomposition. With this research, we wanted to find out how selected works of art through aesthetic transfer affect the perception, experience, preference, motivation and artistic expression of children - proteges of the SOS Dječje Selo Ladimirevci. We processed the collected informations with regard to the variables: age, gender, contact with family, general success in school, success in the subject Art Culture.
