By observing a fine art work in a child, we develop a sensibility for art, the development of aesthetic values as well as creative thinking is encouraged. It is important that educational work contains activities with children that include works of art. Particular attention should be paid to exposing children to original works of art or reproductions of high quality. Therefore, it is necessary for kindergartens to cooperate with museums and galleries. The reception of a work of art is carried out by the child observing and analyzing the work at the level of thematic content, motifs, artistic elements and style. When observing, there are several methods, ways of observing and analyzing a work of art. This paper examines the connection between children's reception of artwork and artistic expression through the method of aesthetic transfer. The research is a case study of children's artwork. The sample included nineteen children aged 6, for the purpose of research we divided the sample into two groups that participated together in the first part of the reception of the artwork, however, in the second part during the artistic expression, the sample split up. Before the artistic expression, the children were familiar with the life and work of the artist, through digital media they participated in the exhibition in the museum, and in the last stage during their work, everyone was able to directly observe the reproduction. The results of two groups of children were interpreted and compared. In the works of children who sat together during artistic expression, the same choice of technique or art material was noticed, the influence of the group on the artistic expression of an individual child was not observed. It was noticed that children who sat alone spent more time in the activity, different material was used for expression. Through the analysis of the works, we could conclude that the children, through the method of art transfer, experienced the works of art on a personal level through all the senses (perception phase), through the conversation with the teacher, they became aware of what they had experienced, and that is why in the expression phase we are witnessing a new aesthetic experience.
