Description In the form of a workshop, the research pedagogical interventions were part of the authors' art-based-research and artistic development project, based on an analysis of the creative process and its outcomes, the non-verbal and verbal responses of child authors, and a holistic approach with an emphasis on the acquisition of art experiences in pre-primary art education. The workshop took place in the Multimedia Creation Studio at the Department of Art Education of the Faculty of Arts in Brno with the participation of preschool children from the faculty's kindergarten. The children had the opportunity to explore colours in an unconventional way and use them to create. The motivation for them was to transform the colour atmosphere of the space - the studio is equipped with a technique enabling light effects. The children were provided with stations supporting their individual choice of activity. Traditional art materials such as plasticine, textile scraps and dry pastels made it possible to transform the material, colour the base or arrange the coloured elements into a composition according to the child's ideas. The motivation was the possibility to create differently. For example, the prepared pieces of plasticine were not intended for modelling but for artistic destruction - the children transformed the mass with a mallet and placed it on the surface of coloured paper. They could observe how the shape of the plasticine changed with a blow, how its colours were mixed, and how the colour contrast worked. They explored different ways to further interfere with the emerging image, to transform it. The action-oriented nature of the creation satisfied the children above all by its process. Research data in the form of children's comments, visual results, etc. were used for subsequent analysis. Partial results of the study were published in the form of an article in a professional journal.
