In art education, teachers must present art works that are subject to various interpretations and present opportunities for children to interpret art by themselves. Namely, it is needed in art appreciate education for children to not only have one interpretation of art works but also have various interpretations of them according to their own perspectives and, going further, need to have an attitude of recognizing and respecting various interpretations by others.
However, the art appreciations occurring in most schools consist of mostly teachers' explanations, simply following and drawing along famous paints, or activities of writing the students' impressions from observing art works. In addition, since the children are not finding the meaning of art work by themselves but observing them by depending on the painters' intention of expression and thoughts, meaningful and interesting appreciation activities are not occurring. If children are able to internalize art works into a story form, they will develop a familiarity with the art works that they observed and remember them for a long time, and their interests and understandings of art can be increased.
Therefore, this study presents a storytelling as a method for diversely interpreting art work that is centered on children and to increase the familiarity and the ability to perceive art work, and seeks to come up with a plan for guiding art appreciation using storytelling. Also, the study seeks to identify educational effect of art appreciation guide that uses children's storytelling by analyzing the result of the guide.
In detailed content of the study, Rezeptionsästhetik, which is a theoretical background of storytelling, is first examined as a discussion of art appreciation method and, afterwards, the characteristics of storytelling and the storytelling in art appreciation education are examined to find the level of appropriateness of storytelling as a method of art appreciation. In addition, a guide plan is designed by analyzing the art appreciation method that can apply children's storytelling and the select criteria of art work for class use and storytelling types. Furthermore, through the results generated from the study upon conducting a class, an analysis is conducted to find if storytelling art appreciation activity can enable the student to have various interpretations. Lastly, the educational effect of storytelling lesson is examined and presents a future direction for storytelling appreciation lesson.
There are ten lessons in the lesson presented through the plan for guiding art appreciation using children's storytelling, and each lesson explains in detail the guidance method and the content of storytelling through teacher-study guide, appreciation materials, explanatory materials for teacher, activity results and content analysis of children's storytelling.
In the result of the guidance for art appreciation using children's storytelling, the development types of children's story are comprehensively analyzed and the educational effects of storytelling appreciation lesson are presented.
In order to increase the educational effect of future art appreciation education using children's storytelling, various study subjects that are more closely related to everyday lives of children and a study plan that includes storytelling types must be searched, and the development of detailed study contents are need that are familiar and interesting to students and through which students can long remember art work related to the storytelling that is ingrained in every area of the modern society.
