In consideration that we are witnessing natural changes caused by environmental pollution, it is important to properly implement the topic of sustainable development in other subjects. Fine art is an inseparable part of social and natural changes and as such takes a reference at current problems with new art content, techniques, themes and motives. By researching a sample of 224 students of Teacher and Early and Preschool Studies, we came to knowledge about information, interests, knowledge, attitudes and thinking of students about sustainable development in the teaching of Art culture. The results show that among students there are differences in knowledge of the topic of sustainable development and interests in it, as well as openness to the creative use of waste materials and their use in teaching. Students of early and preschool education show a positive attitude towards the use of waste materials in teaching, than is the case with students of Teacher Education. Higher grade students agree less with claims about the use of waste material in teaching than younger students. However, senior students are better acquainted with key documents related to sustainable development than younger students.
