This thesis explores the application of Vincent van Gogh's paintings in primary school art education, focusing on the potential of his work to inspire children's artistic expression. The aim is to connect Van Gogh's paintings, techniques, artworks, and life with teaching methods and strategies in art education and other subjects. The purpose of the study is also to examine the impact of innovative thematic methods on the development of students' creativity and visual thinking. The first part of the thesis is dedicated to a theoretical analysis of the PostImpressionism period and artists considered representatives of this era, with an emphasis on the significance of Vincent van Gogh. It thoroughly investigates the development of his work from the very beginning, his most significant artworks, and his influence and contribution to future art. The second part focuses on art workshops conducted in primary schools. It describes the planning, preparation, and implementation of teaching units through which students became familiar with Van Gogh's style, studied his works, and expressed themselves artistically through their creations. The analysis of the workshops' effectiveness highlighted the strong motivational role of Van Gogh's paintings in art education, which led students to show satisfaction and confidence in their artistic expression through communication and art projects. The results also indicate a high level of student creativity, interest, and motivation stimulated by various thematic activities. The students' works are considered highly successful due to the clear depiction of artistic concepts, techniques, and assigned motifs. In conclusion, the thesis confirms the positive relationship between the integration of artworks, such as those by Vincent van Gogh, in art education and the development of children's visual literacy, aesthetics, and imagination. These findings clearly indicate a need for changes in conventional art education and for integrating the lives and works of significant artists in ways that are engaging, tailored, and interactive for students.
