Consciousness is an essential for the complete psychological understanding of the human mind. In this paper, I have suggested that treating consciousness not as a substance, but an attribution, facilitates dealing with the problem of human consciousness. Vygotsky's and James' works on consciousness are reviewed in a contemporary light, along with Merleau-Ponty's work on expressive behavior, which shares much in common with these earlier works. Children's drawings are used as an example of basic expressive action to examine the development of drawings and meaning of change.
