Abstract
At the 70th UN General Assembly in 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), were adopted unanimously with the aim of achieving the targets in 17 fields by 2030. In art education, in addition to the traditional activities of appreciating domestic and foreign cultural heritage, which are topics to Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), various textbook themes that address ESD are also generated by expressive activities. After analyzing the current textbook material, the “Present and the Future which Change by Design” was practiced by students in the third grade of junior high school. The language written in the free description section of the worksheet was analyzed before and after the class by text mining. This showed the tendencies toward change in the student’s thoughts. Thus, we clarified whether the students had a viewpoint related to the creation of a sustainable society.
