This paper investigates the possibility of conducting an art education class for elementary school, with an attempt to "encounter" cultural resources that represent present time in the everyday world. The paper also aims to identify the challenges in popularizing such teaching materials. The study mainly examined people and events that give rise to the emotions and modalities of ordinary citizens as cultural resources, focusing on the social aspects of culture. Teaching materials for expression and appreciation activities in art education were reviewed, and criteria for choosing the cultural resources used as teaching materials were investigated. Conducting classes based on this viewpoint facilitated study of the transformation of children's thoughts and judgments as expressed in their artwork. The study made clear that the active use of the media and other cultural resources prompted children toward an attitude of knowing how a reality is processed and nurtured in them an aptitude for participation in activities which are energized by the differences in children's sensibilities. The study also found that it is challenging to cultivate a capability in children that enables them to tell their own stories in their own words.
