With both theories and practical teaching, and supported by the theory of multi intelligences, this study means to, through lively teaching, use picture books with various contexts, which include many visual effects and wonderful stories, to diversify pupils’ ways of thinking. The ultimate objectives of this study are to, despite individual difference, raise students’ confidence and interests, cultivate their unique art performance, endow them with the ability to solve art problems, and moreover, cultivate their creativity to solve daily life problems. Therefore, in order to understand the significance of the art classes and how to design them based on multi-intelligence picture book teaching, this study will look into, with multi-intelligence picture books, the students’ interests and their drawing performance. Besides, I will discuss how the class actually proceeds and the adversity pedagogues may encounter. Based on the theory of multi intelligences, this study aims to design lively art classes with various kinds of picture books, and apply the teaching plan to actual teaching. The objects of the study are elementary school students, and the study has been lasted for ten weeks, two sessions per week, forty minutes per session. By recording and observing the learning condition and the work of the students, this study can help readers understand the influence of this method on students’ drawing performance. Applying a variety of education resources and methods, this study means to raise the capacities of different intelligences, and to raise the motivation for students to learn; as a result, we may realize the revelation of individual drawing performance. This study means to spur the students’interests and motivations with diversifying teaching resources and teaching techniques in order to allow those who has the motivation and the ideas to show their personal drawing performance. As to pedagogues, this study expects that multi-intelligence picture books could provide a broader way to design their teaching plans and provide more education resources; besides, this study means to prove that the multi-intelligence to teaching with picture books is highly workable. At last, hopefully, this study can be helpful for future studies and references.
