A education has adapted to the change of the digital media age, have to change with the times, reflecting social paradigm-information,
globalization-oriented and diversified society,in knowledge-information society. Elementary school art education is trying to expressing method utilizing a variety of digital media in such a paradigm shift in education. Any Student using Pc, digital camera, celluar phone in modern age can express digital image easily.
The purpose of this study is to suggest the method of expressing through digital image which can use to educate the art in the digital age by giving specific examples. For this purpose, I choosed topics from the fine art's units which can be adapted digital image on the 5th grade in elementary school, and teached digital class' 5th graders from elementary school in Seoul. Specific examples are as follows; Making Photo(Making Direction Photo), Expressing Digital Image to listen to the music, The combination of photographs and drawings
In teaching with digital images, digital units for digital cameras and mobile phones, PC, tablet PC, a kind of an iPad leverage their feelings and thoughts can be expressed in a creative and original, so that was induced.
Above all, I pinned down my intention during the class that purpose of the class is not students' Digital Equipment skills expanding, but their diverse and new art experience through image using digital equpments. After a series of lessons using the digital image to class students, the result may be as follows.
Students were received of new art lessons using the digital image without repulsion. Because digital camera, smartphone, internet and digital medias already have been a part of students' life and that new art lessons were reflective of the stream of times. Students, digital generation, have enjoyed various image from the cradle and internet is a must of their life. They don't try to follow a artist's intention any more in humble and inactive attitude. They claimed their view gallantly and did their artwork like a computer gammer. Therefore, we need to inject various images, computer graphics and digital medias like a digital image as well as analogue ways like a paper and pencil for the art education. Lessons were able to cover a wide variety of genres and I emphasized taking issues of humane qualities in their works. In addition, a teacher had to motivate students as a guide in these lessons.
Active endeavor using a handy digital image is a method to complement the activities of the art education in off-line classroom. And it will supply the students with an opportunity to give an interest in doing art and can do artwork for themselves. Based on the results, this study has made the following suggestions for subsequent research to improve the field of education and further studies in this area.
First, in this study even though the researcher analyzed units and
extracted topics based on the curriculum of the art of 5th grade, it can be adapted on 4th and 6th graders in elementary school or all graders in middle school. Because there are digital environments in their classes.
Second, in the process of searching and collecting a data on the
Internet, students must be educated on copyright and netiquette thoroughly in order not to be a case where the unsavory situation occurs.
Third, there is a possibility without being the fact that digital image applications are effective to all periods of all units. So we must plan and apply it in order to harmonize the art class of existing and the art class which applies a new medium mutually complementary.
Fourth, the teacher need to have attitude that they accept and
accommodate new educational medium like digital image actively and
earnestly. No matter how there is a good facility base, if the teacher
is not exchanged good facility will die out. This will not be the proper ability to cope with the periodic change.
Fifth, there is a possibility which there will be a limit to regard this study as general form of the fine arts education which applies digital image. Because the researcher selected topic optionally and applied it in site. Consequently there is a necessity to give proof through various following-up studies.
Finally, modern students should not be simple consumers who accept digital image but students should be true producers who make meaningful image. So teacher should help student to be true image maker and develop various education methods for students
