Blanka Stančić Puhak[1], Jerneja Herzog[2] Abstract Art pedagogues and professional staff should, in addition to correct art pedagogical work, influence the development of the child on several levels. One of them is the social level, which is also important for children with special needs. They can achieve this in different ways: through art play, which is adapted to the child, adequately selected motive, appropriate motivation. It could also be said that it is similar with children with special needs. When it comes to socialization, art education of the head of the preschool work, we must take into account the children with all their specifics and thus achieve the adaptation of the program and approach. For example, in children with intellectual disabilities, the developmental path depends on many different factors such as diagnosis, age, sociological conditions, and the current environment. Therefore, our pedagogical approach in art education must be adapted and harmonized with the child's needs. In this article, we present the results of a qualitative research, a case study, where we monitored the artistic activity of a 6-year-old girl with Down syndrome. The survey lasted 3 months. Through the comparison of the theoretical characteristics of ordinary art pedagogical work and art pedagogical work in children with special needs, we wanted to find common ground and differences. The emphasis was on the emotional part of artistic creation, which is tied to the artistic motive, as this can be a good stimulus for the emancipation and socialization of a child with special needs in a group. Key words: socialization, emancipation, art culture, children with special needs, children with intellectual disabilities. [1] M.Sc.
