This study analyzes artwork labeling practices in art textbooks developed under the 2022 revised art curriculum and explores appropriate standards through comparison with domestic and international museum cases. Findings indicate inconsistencies in labeling artist names, titles, media, dimensions, and production years across textbooks. For two-dimensional works, variations such as “medium on support” versus “support and medium,” and “height × width” versus “width × height” were observed. Emerging visual materials—including digital images, video works, and AI-generated images—also lacked standardized guidelines, limiting learners’ understanding. Some textbooks presented altered or distorted reproductions, potentially hindering appreciation. In contrast, museums provide detailed information on materials, techniques, environments, and formats that support deeper engagement. The study emphasizes that artwork labeling in textbooks should function as a core pedagogical element, underscoring the need for standardized criteria to ensure consistency and educational effectiveness.
