Abstract
The aim of this paper is to study cross-style representation between fine arts and music. The present study includes the analyses of about 284 examples of practice by childcare workers based on a survey of 171 public and private kindergartens in Okayama Prefecture. The results of the study showed the following four points; 1 Practices of cross-style representation by childcare workers divided into 13 fine arts activities and 7 music activities. 2 It was common that fine arts activities appeared as the endpoint of the practice of cross- style representation, not the beginning. 3 The number and content of childcare workers’ practices, as well as their opinions, were affected by whether music activities included lyrics. 4 Quantitative analysis showed that desire for cross-style representation between fine arts and music and confidence in fine arts activities were related to whether childcare workers could design the practice or not.
