This research employed action research method and designed the six-themed imagination-oriented fine art program based on possibility thinking. The researcher was also the teacher who implemented the program at an art cram preschool for six weeks. The purpose of the research was to develop an imagination cultivation model to help learners think and show their imagination through art works. The data collected included teacher’s feedback, recording, videotaping, and written observation. The teaching program, teaching method based on possibility thinking and the art works created by kids were analyzed in the research. There are four main results listed as following . 1. An art class based on possibility thinking for kids must provide enough time and space for thinking and learning independently. 2. Kids are able to enhance their imagination and the ability to express through possibility thinking teaching program. 3. Teachers can improve the kids’ metacognition by teaching and empowering their learning. 4. There are three principles of possibility thinking program for preschool fine arts teaching. Time and space principle should incorporate open themes for students to make deliberate decisions and help them accomplish learner agency. Teachers should also follow the standing back principle to encourage students to think by themselves when they ask questions, while the selection of teaching materials can inspire students to participate. With the standing back principle, teachers can provide opportunities for students to make decisions and enhance the learner autonomy while improving their self-realization via creative media and format to manifest the students’ self-expression through their works.
