The conclusions based on the findings of this study are as follows: First, it seems that art education is not carried out actively in the schools for the visually impaired. Among 12 schools for the visually impaired nationwide, only 4 schools have art teachers who majored in art. Art activity rooms for the students as well as various teaching tools and materials were also insufficient. Especially, art textbooks for the students with visual disability have not been developed yet. Second, the areas of interest in the students with visual impairment are craft, design, and sculpture. The students tend to like the art subject, and the tendency is higher in elementary school students than middle and high school students. In addition, the students prefer classes focused on practical techniques. Third, in general, students with visual impairment positively perceive the necessity of art education. However, their interest in art education and their perception of its effectiveness were moderate: 54.2% of the students said art education was necessary; 42.2% expressed their interest in art education; and, 39.5% said art education was effective. As a whole, the students generally expressed positive opinions about the necessity of art education, while their interest and perceived effectiveness of it seemed to be in the medium level. Fourth, concerning their interest in art education, perceptions of the students with visual impairment were generally positive. The highest number of students chose the answer, \"I\'m interested in various colors\", and their interests seem to be higher in elementary school students than middle and high school students. Fifth, art education is recognized to be effective by the students. The highest number of students chose the answer, \"I feel joy in the process of taking art education, or making art works\". The effectiveness seems to be higher in elementary school students than middle and high school students.
