Based on the case research on the education program planned and performed by this researcher on Daegu Art Museum in 2014, this study is aimed at proposing a plan for integrated art appreciation activities associated with expressions.
These days, as more easier access to cultural facilities has been made and people's cultural expectations and desires have become larger, diverse generations of people have come to art museum. Whereas some people have appreciation with their independent attitudes by setting the direction of individual interest, many others have difficulty with appreciation because they don't know what to do. In particular, most students visit art museum against their will so that they fail to concentrate artworks and thus don't remember what to look at. Therefore, it is necessary to suggest a proper art appreciation way and improve their appreciation abilities to help them take interesting appreciation activities.
Art museum education is a sort of appreciation education based on real works, and has informal and noninstitutional characteristics. To appreciate artworks is to make analysis and evaluation by looking at artworks visually and thereby understand the intention of artists. The appreciation education program of the art museum in this thesis represents appreciation education in integration of expression activities and appreciation activities in which learning objectives and subjects were already planned.
To achieve the purpose of this study, this researcher first investigated the development of children's art appreciation abilities, the changes in appreciation contents and methods, and the process and methods of appreciation instruction; secondly, analyzed the step-wise approach of an integrated appreciation education program on the basis of the education program associated with the exhibits of Daegu Art Museum performed in 2013 and 2014, and looked into the effect and instruction direction of the integrated appreciation activities.
To support the above description, this study theoretically first explored the development of elementary students' appreciation abilities and the appreciation instruction methods; secondly, conducted a case analysis on the approach of the education program associated with the exhibits of Daegu Art Museum.
According to the analysis, the appreciation education of an art museum needs to provide appreciation activities which can trigger students' curiosity and interest and thereby improve their intelligent and aesthetic appreciation abilities. In addition, in consideration of children's development stages, it is necessary to make an approach to integrated with not only art, but other areas including Korean language, social studies and science. The appreciation education integrated with the expressions of an art museum should be conductive to suggesting a plan of overcoming the problems of appreciation education that school art subject has, and should be aimed at raising their cultural and artistic knowledge which can ultimately be used to find and apply aesthetic factors in life. In terms of research limitation, this study didn't take into account the association with the appreciation instruction in school, but made an approach from the standpoint of persons in charge of education in art museums.
