Abstract

In this study, the soil which was used to provide an environment suitable for early childhood education art was a mixture of sand and clay. This material is suitable for children's art because it has viscosity and plasticity once a specified amount of liquid has been added to it, and it can be crushed relatively easily by children after it has dried. The soil used as an example in this study was "used soil" (riyoudo) from a quarry plant in a river basin. A technical method was used to analyze the grain and clarify the character of the soil. This paper describes how art activities were developed using this material and discusses the implications of this.
