Art appreciation is a part of the field of art criticism. Art appreciation involves the elements and principles of art. This study aims to identify the level of students' understanding and problems during the application of art appreciation sessions in teaching and learning in primary school. This study uses a qualitative approach in the form of a case study. Data analysis was collected using interview, observation and document analysis to observe pupils' behavior and understanding level. Two students from Year 6 and one visual art teacher were selected as the participants of the study. The data were analyzed descriptively. Participants of the study were selected on purposive sampling. The findings show that students' level of understanding the element of art is low. In addition, students are less fluent in Malay Language which made them unable to perform the session with a good art appreciation. The way of teaching is also not focused on aesthetic perceptions. This problem causes students to become less interested and less confident. Therefore, researchers suggested that teachers be given a comprehensive overview of how to carry out art appreciation sessions in school to ensure that their artwork can be appreciated by the students.
