Summary/Abstract: The goal of this research is to examine and determine whether the teaching of art studies is realized according to the current curriculum in the primary school grades III and IV grade. The sample consists of 214 students and 10 teachers. The research methods selected for deriving relevant conclusions are a descriptive method, theoretical analysis method, historical method, and experimental method. Results obtained through a survey questionnaire, related to the surveyed teachers, about whether they represent fields of art equally in their art classes, are that they answered in the representation of 100%, as well as the majority of students (96.26%) who answered affirmatively to the same question. During the experiment, 80% of students encountered graphics for the first time, so in this case, the answers in the first survey for teachers and students did not match the current situation in the school. In answering the question of what most art classes are about, the majority of students (82.71%) answered drawing, while the remaining 18.69% answered that they usually paint. According to the students, the areas of art are not equally represented in teaching, as shown by the results of a survey conducted among teachers. With this paper, it has been determined that graphics, as an art discipline, even though it is planned by the primary education’s curriculum with an exact number of hours, is not fulfilled or equally represented in the art studies.
