This master's thesis is consisting theoretical and practical parts content-related with research conducted based on use of individual and group work in teaching Art as a subject in school. In theoretical part different insights were explored about forms of work in teaching from the available literature. Individual and group form of work in teaching are studied in more detail. Specificities of subject Art are also present, as well as widespread forms of work within that subject. Teaching topics in Art are described, and according to them practical research is shaped. The topics ''Purity of color'' and ''The relationship between image and text'' are being processed in the second grade and topics ''Composition and shade of color'' and ''Contrast and dominance of colors, shapes, sizes...'' are being processed in the fourth grade. In practical part of the thesis the research is summarized and elaborated based on Art classes with second and fourth grade students of Elementary School. Within that research with two different classes, teaching topics were processed and they were related by key words (''Purity of color'', ''Composition and shade of color'', ''The relationship between image and text'' and ''Contrast and dominance of colors, shapes, sizes...'') Once it was done in form of individual work and once in form of group work. According to the observations with the performance of these lessons and based on the analysis of student work as the outcome of the topics covered, some specifities related to both forms of work were highlighted. These can be helpful to the teacher in planning the classes of subject Art.
