Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aims qualitative changes and stimulation of learning through creative art education. The author has pursued the possibilities of art education considering “Body-mind,” fundamental existence “flow of life” and integrates it with “the art of life,” based on the circulation of art education from practice to theory and back. Particularly she has studied her practice of “Art” in elementary school from the aspect of “Body-mind・Awareness・Dialogue” on a preliminary step toward the subject. She also claims how it is significant in art education(Art Education based on Body-mind・Awareness・Dialogue, Child Research. , vol.3, Houbunshorin, 2015.) Moreover, she has developed teaching materials for art, focusing on embodiment, cooperativity, and creativity.
