Abstract
M.Urlaßʼs work was included in Joseph Beuys and the Artistic Education (2020), edited by C.-P. Buschkühle. The “artistic education” theory claimed by Buschkühle and other researchers is built based on the “expanded concept of art” of J. Beuys. Urlaßʼ practice and suggestion are also basically in line with this argument of “artistic education.”Urlaß wrote the book which is a report and consideration on the practice of education for about a half year targeting the 1st grade students of grundschule in Germany, dealing with the theme of construction work of a cafeteria in the school.It was an art class in the form of a project-type learning centering on childrenʼs independent activities of expression, contents of which were a combination of art subject and interdisciplinary one.It emphasized on independent activities of individuals based on the life and real feeling of children, which required high skills of teachers.Practice of such education is not easy, but very informative for education practices in Japan.
