Abstract
This study deduces the methods of expression of spatial awareness over a six-year period in elementary school using drawings of meals. This was presented in volume 35 (2014.3) of an academic journal. It was demonstrated that children acquire independent expressions through interaction with others. Here, we examine children’s acquisition of methods of expression and how they learn about what is expressed in the environment, in addition to the conditions that enable the expression of their qualities and skills. Using interpretations of works and videos of students in kindergarten and the lower grades of elementary school, we found that the children learn methods of expression during their learning process. 1. Kindergartners and lower grade elementary school children incorporate information about people and things around them, meeting new challenges with their knowledge and skills, and investigating new activities to acquire new knowledge and skills. 2. The acquisition of knowledge and skills specific to arts subjects occurs in arts and crafts. It is important to determine the relationship between knowledge and skills, as demonstrated in the goals of the new course of study, and teach knowledge and skills together, rather than teaching each separately.
