Revisiting children's "experience" and expression : Reinitiating the "sensibility" dimension

Abstract

This study develops a discussion of expression activity that emphasizes children's expression on the dimension of the body, ergo, the dimension of sensibility. This study is based upon the ontology of experience by Kiyoshi Mahito and the sensibility theory by Sasaki Kenichi. The goal of this study is the promotion of the conception that the initiation of art education be from the dimension of "sensibility", while being conscious of contemporary issues, and justified as the period or stage of life that guarantees rich "experiences".
