Tactile perception, or the sense of touch, in preschool children, plays a key role in exploring textures, developing sensitivity, and the ability to recognize different textures. The artistic ability to depict texture on paper, based on tactile perception, is an individual skill that changes significantly during child development. The research aimed to determine how the age of children influences the development of tactile perception and their ability to depict different textures artistically. Qualitative analysis of artworks attempted to determine the development of the children's ability to artistically depict texture based on tactile perception, without the ability to observe the object visually. The research was conducted in the kindergarten „Krijesnica“, Osijek on a sample of 35 children of preschool age from the nursery, younger and older age groups. The children were tasked to feel three non-visual objects of different shapes and textures and to depict their texture artistically using a pencil, colored pencil, or a combination of both. A total of 105 artworks were collected, of which 45 were analyzed in detail to answer the research questions. The research results showed that the age of children has a significant impact on the development of tactile perception and their ability to artistically depict different textures, where the complexity and recognizability of the artistic representations increase with age, and the pencil was the most commonly used technique in artistic expression.
