This study is based on the hypothesis that, when children encounter visual art, experiencing and perceiving it with senses other than their everyday familiar visual senses may expand their understanding of the surrounding world. To expand children’s awareness of the world around them, the researcher conducted arts and crafts classes for the lower grades of elementary school. The artworks were placed inside a black box and children were asked to identify them through touching sensation by the palm, and the image thus acquired was expressed using words and drawings. In this paper, to ascertain how children manifested in actual classes, the researcher interpreted and analyzed video recordings of speech and acts by them from various aspects, including the senses, imagination, and body language, with reference to the “seven aspects of personality” according to Brian Way. Interpreting the aspects of children’s awareness made it possible to confirm various types of awareness in appreciation and expression processes, including the aspect of independent exploration and imagination utilizing intelligence and sensory perception.
