This study suggests the possibility that communicative action by children implodes the crises of their life-world and the experiences of others from the viewpoint of capturing the polyphony and dialogicity of an expressive action, making their activities responsive and interactive. By addressing various problems in art education that have carried over to the present-day modern society and the focused experiences of others, which are a cause of urgent and serious problems and difficulties in children’s life-wold, the study explores what must be changed in the actual environmental situation of children’s lives. To achieve a breakthrough in these situations, an educational method is necessary that involves children and adults engaging in “participation” and “imagination about others.” This allows children to take initiative to engage in the world and with others. Expressive activities must be developed that can create space for communicating what has been experienced in “one’s own feelings and thoughts” by utilizing words and other expressions and to share “untalkable experiences” on one’s own. Such achtiveies establish moments as interactive relationship, exchanges that occur with others that become an important opportunity to deeply know and experience the other/oneself.
