Abstract
The purpose of this paper is planning a systematic teaching program of art education over themes in Junior high school and verify the hypothesis by the practice of the Junior high school attached to the school of education in Okayama University in 2006.
The word of Kousei as basic education was proposed by Rensitiro-Kawakita in Japan, but in fact it was originated by Johannes Itten. It is an education of fundamental art in general, and for the possibilities of general-purposes.
In Japan, most people don't interpret Kousei as basic education correctly, construe it as an art education in a narrow sense. So I looked the acceptance and transition of Kousei as basic education in Japan. I considered the ideal method of Kousei as basic education and the systematic teaching program of art education based it in Junior high school.
