Abstract
This study started from the perspective that art education closely related to children's emotions is essential for children's positive emotional development. In this study, we conducted interviews with four art teachers who teach art to children in various educational settings to qualitatively explore practical measures for children's positive emotional development through art education. Through the interviews, it was possible to discover the meaning of positive emotions experienced in art activities ‘Sensory Experience of Encountering Reality: Knowing Emotional Oneself through Art’, ‘Visualization of Self-Expression: Understanding and Recognizing Oneself through Art’, ‘Problem-solving and Transformative Process: Regulating Emotions through Art ’, ‘Creative Communication and Connection: Understanding and Respecting Others through Art’. Based on the result, the implications for approaches in art education for the positive emotional development of children are below: First, art education should prioritize creating a space(or site) where a child’s diverse emotions can be expressed as an educational goal. Second, art education should be composed of educa-tional content that promotes a child’s emotional well-being. Third, practical educational methods and envi-ronments should be established for the positive emotional development of children.
