NESIBOVÁ, Kateřina
This bachelor's thesis is divided into two parts - a theoretical part and a practical part. The practical part of the work which is conceived as a case study, aims on gaining an insight into how children of different age groups portray the fairytale story of Sleeping Beauty. The main focus is put on characteristics the children's art pieces have. The work aims to capture the interpretive potential of this topic in projective-interventional art therapy with children. The thesis deals with children's renditions of the fairytale Sleeping Beauty in its core part. The works of art were created by children from a smaller elementary school in art education class. Children's pictures are examined from the point of view of selected formal aspects, the greatest emphasis is placed on the depicted stages of the story and the characters associated with them. Short interviews were also held with some of the authors, and these are used as an additional data collection method. The research part is preceded by a theoretical part, in which one whole chapter is dedicated to the fairy tale Sleeping Beauty - the plot of the most widespread variants of the story is presented and these variants are also compared with one another. This chapter also tries to analyze and interpret the individual symbols contained in the fairy tale. The next chapter of the theoretical part of the thesis is devoted to fairy tales in general, especially to their importance in people's lives, and especially in the children's lives. The theoretical part of the work also anchors important concepts related to art therapy, which is presented as a discipline that works with the artistic expression of a person in a specific way. Morever, the theoretival part also deals with the specifics of adolescence, especially from the point of view of developmental psychology and from the point of view of contemporary pediatrics. In the last part of the thesis, possibilities for pedagogical usage of various children's renditions of the fairy tale Sleeping Beauty in real work with primary school pupils are suggested.

People have long been attracted to mystical stories. Russian fairy tales, saturated with Russian mysticism and symbols, deserve special attention. These works significantly contributed to the formation of Russian symbolism as a stylistic expression. The work examines the connection between Russian fairy tales and the emergence of an independent artistic style in painting at the end of the 19th century - Russian symbolism through the personalities of artists Viktor Vasnetsov, Mikhail Vrubel and Viktor Borisov-Musatov. The subject of the work will also be a chapter on the historical, political and social situation of Russia in the 1870s and 1890s, which influenced the emergence of style together with artists. How did the elements of symbolism manifest themselves in other Russian art? Who exactly were avant-garde artists influenced by symbolism? This bachelor thesis will look for answers.

Fairytales about selfdetermination.
Sachrová, Tereza ; Babáková, Bernardeta (referee) ; Klímová, Barbora (advisor)
In my bachelor thesis I present a text named Tales from Beztrudy land in an author book. It’s 12 stories about Lutynka and Hynek living in an abandoned narrow gauge railway near a train station in a land called Beztrudy. They live with eighteen dogs, with a cat without one leg Prlenka, with half dog half fox Bařinka and one domesticated bird. Together with their friends, they face everyday problems (getting food, changing seasons, growing a group of dogs, bottling honey, going to the ball, etc.), as well as traumas, social abnormalities, problems with the dominance of the powerful or the absence of a stable background for life. The setting of the stories - Beztrudy is a paraphrase of the Beskydy Mountains, which are the main inspiration for the stories. The goal of the thesis was to create an ecofeminist text similar to fairy tale series, which would thematize non-hierarchical interpersonal relationships, the relationship with nature or coping with abandonment. In the text part of the thesis, I also deal with the role of dialect in society or when working with language. Furthermore, I thematize here the eternal struggle to preserve the integrity of the landscape and the role of this theme in fairy tale production.
