Abstract
Arts and crafts and art education are often considered only with reference to urban areas. For example, there are many reports on appreciation education in cooperation with an art museum. However, there is not often an art museum in rural areas. I carried out questionnaire research into the actual conditions for teachers and students around Shiso City, Hyogo Prefecture. From the answers to the questionnaire, I clarified the difference between urban and rural areas in this subject. The investigation also revealed the relationships between the contempt for this subject and the uneasiness and questions that teachers have. Through the practice of study sessions designing approaches to the issues, I clarified the effectiveness and the need for interactive study sessions, not the lecture and practice type.
