Children can express their inner thoughts through painting and this is the most realistic true self. Painting is a form of nonverbal communication and a sonorous expression for elementary school children, which is more distinguishable than any other languages. In the current diversified teaching environment, painting is indeed a strong implication of children’s mental growth, especially for children whose language development is not as matured. The author as an elementary school teacher through student counseling found that most of the misbehaviors of children these days lie in poor communication or children unable to express themselves properly. Therefore, the author would like to use the problems discovered from the children's painting and combine with group guidance to provide substantial help to the children. The objective of this study was to investigate the fifth graders, who have behavior troubles or problems in everyday life, through the graphical interpretation or analysis of their paintings on the computers, to further understand the true meaning of their paintings. By designing counseling courses supplemented with multimedia and information technology, to assist in the comprehensive development of the student’s emotions and interpersonal relationships. The research methodology is based on the analysis, consolidation and categorization of the paintings from different students as to explore the correlation between children's painting and their mental development.
