This study aims to develop a teaching and learning method in art education grounded in the concept and pedagogical value of curatorial practice, and to examine its educational potential and effectiveness through classroom application. Based on a literature review, the study identified seven core elements of curatorial teaching and learning and proposed an instructional model incorporating these elements. The developed program was implemented with a sixth-grade class in an elementary school.
The results indicate that students enhanced their ability to critically interpret artworks and construct visual narratives, while also recognizing exhibitions as open-ended structures that allow for multiple interpretations. Furthermore, students engaged in self-directed learning, collaborative communication, and reflective thinking in an integrated manner. This study demonstrates the potential of curatorial practice as a pedagogical approach that expands instructional design in art education through critical, process-oriented, and participatory learning.
