Art creation is one of the favourite activities of preschool children. A stimulating material environment as well as a reflective practitioner educator contribute to this. In a preschool institution, it is important that the educator provides equal opportunities for children to express their artistic abilities. When a child actively, freely and independently discovers the world around him, explores and participates in the creation of everyday activities and environments, he is actually working on his overall development. Educators, as co-creators of the learning process in preschool institutions, offer children a stimulating environment and materials, but they do not criticize children's work, because in this way they influence children's creativity, self-confidence and the development of their need for research and curiosity. In this paper, artistic activities were carried out, which were inspired by the works of art of the painter Gustav Klimt from the art direction of art nouveau and Jackson Pollock, the art direction of abstract expressionism. The activities were carried out in the Cvrčak Kindergarten in Čakovec. The goal of these activities was to guide observations and encourage a personal experience of the work of art and create opportunities for children to experience it adequately. The children who participated in the activities accepted all the tasks well, and they were most occupied with action painting. In the works of art inspired by the work of Gustav Klimt, they tried to imitate colours and motifs, while in the art works inspired by the work of Jackson Pollock, they tried to imitate the way of painting, action painting, which is also visible in the results of their artworks. Although the stimulating works of art were different in terms of motives and methods of painting, the children participated in all activities with equal concentration and success.
