| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research analyzed the art activities of children in the early childhood education settings from the standpoint of Bakhtin’s dialogue theory. Main research site was a Japanese private kindergarten in which the art activities are at the center of its curriculum. Daily classroom activities and the summer art workshop of the kindergarten were observed. The so-called Reggio Emilia early childhood education in Sweden were also observed and compared. The research showed the followings. First, children’s art producing activities in the early childhood education settings, at least in the fine art genre, are the dialogue between children, and/or among a one child, mediated by the artwork in progress. Second, the adults, teachers and artists included, work as the “dialogic author” in the sense of Bakhtin in the dialogic art classroom.
