When we get deeper understanding of the children's art education, it becomes the main aims that how to cultivate the children's interest in art, to inspire the children's potential to art and to promote the comprehensive development of the children's capability of art and humanity cultivation.In the research it applies the concept of "nature" into the children's art education, and the viewpoint of "back-to-nature" art education for children is put forward. The "nature" hereby has two meanings . First it means the nature which we live in; second it means the regularities in nature. The best state of relationship between the nature and human beings is that people obey the regularities in nature and get along harmoniously with it. In the children's art education, we also have to deal with the relationship between the children and the nature. Firstly children are the son of the nature and the nature is the cradle that brought up the children; Secondly the children are the part of the nature and have their formed and developing nature and the potential to art.In the research it also reveals and analyses the present art education for children deviated from the nature through observation and document retrieval, and the concept of "back-to-nature" art education for children is then put forward. "Back-to-nature" does not means to come back to the nature blindly regardless of their nature but means to pay attention to the values of art education of the nature as well as the children's art nature and the regularity of art education's development based on the nature.In the end the researcher puts forwards the theoretical and practical ideas of the "back-to-nature" art education for children, based on the analysis of cases in the "ecological art education for young children" which has obeyed the regularities of nature.
