V prispevku je predstavljena dejavnost učenca, ki je sledila glavnemu cilju, in sicer razvijanje in spodbujanje ustvarjalnosti pri nadarjenem učencu 8. razreda. Učenec je reševal odprt problem, in sicer, kako na zanimiv način z animacijo prikazati del snovi, ki se jo učijo učenci v 3. razredu pri spoznavanju okolja. V procesu iskanja rešitve je preizkusil programe Microsoft GIF Animator, PhotoScape, MonkeyJam, SAM Animation in na koncu z zadnjim izdelal animacijo. Med učencem in učiteljicama se je pri tem sodelovanju vzpostavil mentorski odnos. Učenec je pri delu pokazal ustvarjalnost, vzpostavil je kritičen odnos do uporabljenih programov in dosegal višje ravni učenja. Pri končni evalvaciji pa je izrazil željo po še podobnih priložnostih za delo z animacijami.
Ključne besede: ustvarjalnost, spodbujanje, nadarjeni učenci, individualen pristop, animacija.
