This is a continuing study of utterances of the teacher in arts and crafts classes. I clarified the characteristics of arts and crafts classes by comparing the utterances of an elementary school teacher in arts and crafts classes, social studies, and arithmetic classes. At first, I analyzed the appearance of the utterance mainly as a third educational language. Next, I performed an episodic analysis of the characteristic utterance. In addition, I performed a text mining analysis. Thus, I found that an interest in the learning activities of the child, the independent will of the child, and the close relationship with the intentional characteristics of the teacher, were characteristic of arts and crafts classes. An examination of the artistic viewpoint and way of thinking in relation to the utterance of the class teacher can reveal how to conduct a class on the basis of these characteristics.
