Abstract
This thesis is to consider the standing of comics in art education in junior high school through examples from the classroom from which I was able to catch a glimpse of the students expressively describing their daily lives using comics. In trying to achieve richness in children's creative expression by allowing them to use comics, it is important, first of all, to give them a positive perception of comics and make them realize they can express themselves through this medium. I would further like to emphasize that art education should extract the overwhelming breadth and depth from the so-called "comic culture" and define its status as well, centering around the theme of the expression of children.
