Abstract
Today's society is developing rapidly, but people are facing the dilemma of "happiness stagnation". The purpose of this study is to establish how children's painting can arouse people's happiness. The study presents an initial literature review toward understanding the background knowledge of children's painting. It covers the analysis of the thinking and visual characteristics of children's painting with the aim to identify which of the children's paintings have the potential to arouse people's happiness. Results of the study included understanding the background knowledge of children's painting, the thinking characteristics of children's painting, the visual characteristics of children's painting, and the influence of children's painting on people's happiness. They lead toward the development of a theoretical framework on arousing public’s happiness by visual means. This study contributes to the well-being of people living in high density cities.
