Abstract. The article views the need for integration of arts as a crucial factor for the overall aesthetic development of preschool children in the context of the synthesis between abstract painting and music. The purpose of the research is to clarify the existing direct relationship between the two types of art and their place in preschool education. Artistic perception and co-experience of abstract art are a starting point for the task of creating a non-figurative composition under the impact of a musical work. The paper includes a methodology for carrying out the specific visual form of work in preschool age and emphasizes in a systematized form the benefits of its impact that favour the development of associative thinking, creative imagination, creativity, and individuality.
Keywords: abstract art, artistic creativity, associative thinking, music, non-figurative composition, preschool age
