This study proposes the significance and practical implementation of applying concept-based learning to art education. It connects knowledge to life through conceptual thinking—the foundation of all thought processes including perception, memory, imagination, and reasoning—while strengthening subjectivity and metacognition. To this end, it examines the theoretical foundations of concept-based learning and analyzes its connection to the 2022 Revised National Art curriculum, thereby establishing the legitimacy of implementing concept-based learning in art education. Thus, concept-based learning enables the practice of holistic education, which aims to nurture human beings as total beings without separating intellectual, emotional, social, and physical development. Building on this significance, this study applies the ‘Key Idea’ emphasizing deep learning within life and the achievement standards for each domain, as presented in the 2022 Revised National Art Curriculum. Through this research, it is demonstrated that concept-based learning in art education can solidify the value of art education. This is achieved by fostering the core competencies of the art curriculum through the cyclical structure of ‘aesthetic experience-appreciation-expression-reflection,’ promoting integrated thinking that understands oneself and the world as holistic education, and aiming for organic relationships where individuals and communities are closely connected.
