In this paper, l introduce two books of Art Education Research. One of them is "Becoming Human Through Art" by Edmund Burke Feldman, Professor of University of Georgia, and the other one is "Alternatives for Art Education Research" by Kenneth R. Beittel, Professor of The Pennsylvania state University. In Japan, we have a little chance to get translated into Japanese book of Art Education Research. We have had good researches of teaching methods and the way of "let a child makes picture" but in the field of Art Educational theory, we do little. Dr. Beittel told by philosophical back ground and Dr. Feldman told by mardan sence of teaching theory. They must give us very good suggestions for our Art Educational theory and advanced research of Art Education.
