In this paper, the author discusses the perspective of connecting art education with other subjects in order to promote children’s awareness of the connection between art and life and society by extracting the inquiry topics found in the real world and real life and linking them to the topics in the textbooks of each subject. The findings of this study provide suggestions for “a perspective on relating curriculum content to common themes” and “a perspective on learning that starts with students’ issues and interests, and exploring the issues while integrating the curricular areas”. On the other hand, the study does not provide concrete proposals on the qualities and abilities that can be fostered by connecting art education and other subjects or the perspectives of curriculum management in the school setting. As the continuing research of this paper, therefore, the author will conduct an empirical research on how to create a system of collaboration with “integrated study” lessons and other subjects, different year groups, the entire school, teachers and the local community while addressing the issue of the number of class hours for art education.
