The characteristics of description expressed in children's paintings are different from adults' paintings. In the filed of traditional studies on children's artistic expression, children paintings were considered to be their unrestricted expression of desires existing within the inner world and, therefore, children were encouraged to express their desires without any control. Eventually it was supposed that their ability to express themselves is automatically improved with their age. By using the paintings of children, traditional studies on their artistic expression tried to explore elements that defined the growth and development of children. In particular, they mainly included longitudinal studies that focused on finding, categorizing, evaluating and analysing similar characteristics selected from their paintings with their age. It was impossible, therefore, to examine mental activities of children. In addition, traditional studies on the development of children's artistic expression also put more emphasis on expressive aspects of their paintings, considering that a variety of their life experiences and meanings could be symbolically included in their paintings. For this reason, it seems that qualitative studies are required to understand the personal experience aspects of children's artistic expression while a phenomenlogical study is performed. The reason is that the metaphysical study can make it possible to explore eurythmy using the personal experience of children. Also, the phenomenlogical study can offer an opportunity to review children's personal experience prior to their artistic expression, on the basis of their major concepts. The purpose of this study is to examine a variety of characteristics and meanings expressed in children's paintings. To achieve the purpose, this study was carried out by exploring the aspects and meanings shown in the expression development of traditional children art, by suggesting the needs for changing the meanings of aspects appeared in children's artistic expression in the field of modern art education, and by examining relations between expressive aspects and meanings shown in the process of children's personal experience based on their artistic expression, by performing a phenomenlogical study.
