This study attempts to offer the program for development of aesthetic experience, whose approach is to integrate many fine arts. By this, I want students to understand fundamental artistic principles, to perceive mutual relations between art and other fine art, and above all to have artistic sense through actual, vivid aesthetic 3.experiences. Therefore, I present this program with the belief that it helps students build up their whole personality.
The basic proposition of this paper is that the reflection of aesthetic experience in classroom practice contribute students to form the fundamental study experience. It can be said that this has something to do with Dewey's 'an experience'. It is necessary that everyone should have a keen sensibility and appreciation for the beauty of the world around him. The development of this ability by a unit of integrated program, not one separate art subject, will not only improve the appreciation and sensibility of art, but also help achieve the goal of art education.
In addition, there is a suggestion of introducing the integrated approach to expand aesthetic experience. This is concerned with the 1982 Forth Curriculum Revision on Korea, Which drove instigated guidance between subjects in the first, second grade of the elementary school. It is an international educational trend that is, presently, being made active progress. Recently, many educational specialists have a great interest in the integrated approach the curriculum, in which, with characteristic of each subject kept, a meaningful main issue is variously treated on the basis of the knowledge and experience from many related subjects.
This approach is very similar to our artistic reality, Lately, many genres of arts have a growing tendency to represent many things simultaneously without distinction of genre, in such arts as 'happening', 'complicated media', and 'event' Also, a material being used variously.
The concept that every material is regarded as out-of-date and narrow-minded. Therefore, given the true art education in the classroom, it is clear that we have to discard the traditional view of art education as a genre of arts. And if we want students to gain various learning experiences, we must give them aesthetic experience by integrated approach, not artistic experience by only one genre.
The concrete contents of my researches for this purpose are as follows.
1. I research the essential gualities of artistic experience by studying all theories related to it.
2. I look into its fitness and educational value to see if artistic experience is just as learning experience.
3. I examine the concept, types of integration, and the necessity of inter\grated approach for artistic experience.
4. I study the research activities of art education by using integrated approach, and stated its educational value and direction to seek.
5. I present the model of its program to guide aesthetic experience by integrated method.
This study, which aims at an integrated art education program for the development of artistic experience, is practicable especially at the level of the elementary school on account of matters easy to apply in the classroom.
I hope this program can be a help to art education that can offer vivid artistic experience, and will become a practical material of art education which can be applied to the general school instruction.
