This study focuses on students' spatial relationships within the context of place-based education. The research was designed as a holistic single-case design and was conducted with 15 students aged 10–11, who were studying in the 5th grade at a middle school in Eskişehir, Turkey. Criterion sampling, one of the purposive sampling methods, was used to determine the study group. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews, worksheets, student'diaries, and the artistic works of the students, that were analyzed inductively. The findings indicate that through creative thinking, the students were able to create socio-cultural meanings by considering everyday living spaces, and that they were able to convey their sensual perceptions of the objects and the objects' properties in a certain space in their artwork.
