TThe research was designed as a case study, which is one of the qualitative research designs, and the visual arts course, which plays an important role in revealing different talents, especially artistic talents, and in the development of different thinking skills, was discussed in the research. In the research, the opinions, metaphorical descriptions and visual images of primary school teachers who provide art education were used as sources to obtain data. The study group of the research consisted of 20 primary school teachers providing art education. Semi-structured interview form, metaphors and artworks created by the participants were used as data collection tools. The data were analyzed through content and document analysis. The visual arts course was characterized by the participants as containing hopelessness, exclusion and insignificance. The reason for this was summarized by the degree of importance given to the course. The fact that there is an exam-based education system in Turkey and the fact that the course is not in a position to affect an exam is shown as one of the factors that cause this. In addition, the weekly hours allocated to the course, the lack of space and facilities, the thoughts of the administration, teachers, parents and students towards the course were among the other reasons that worsened this hopeless perspective. This hopeless atmosphere is a situation that needs to be considered in terms of art education in our country, which can play a critical role in the context of talent and thinking skills.
