This work is a continuation of a study on art education based on child-centered education in Japan after World War II. In these studies, I focused on the Souzobiiku Movement, because this movement has been positioned as an realization of child-centered art education in Japan after World War II.In the first study, I investigated the organizational characteristics of the Souzobiiku Movement and comprehensively examined the theoretical problems involving the principles of the movement.In this study, I explored the actual situation of the Souzobiiku Movement through the practices of two art teachers : Ikuo Kimizu, who was a leader of the Souzobiiku Movement, and Keiichiro Okatsu, who criticized the movement. Although the thoughts of these two individuals on art education were different, they shared one common aspect: They provided art education to adolescent children. By analyzing their thoughts and practices on art education, I clarified several problems of the Souzobiiku Movement and measures for improving art education in the future.
