The purpose of this thesis is the application of M. Merleau-Ponty's perception theory to early childhood art education. His theory emphasized 'the lived body' and Being of 'the fresh'. He had a different point of view in a Piajet's cognition theory. By this study on the application of Merleau-Ponty's perception theory to early childhood education practices in Korea, I am aware of various methods, especially teaching methods for improving early children's thinking ability by art experience activities of 'bodily' five-senses.
According to the application by art experience activities of 'bodily' five-senses to early childhood education practices, we could observe children's behavior with perceiving things easily and being interested in various things. Children's active participation in art experiencing lesson could be developed the imaginative power, verbal ability, aesthetic sense and so on every day.
I believe firmly that art experience activities is highly effective teaching methods in early childhood education, but art experience activity programs of early childhood education are a few until now. The highly developed teaching methods of art experience activities are need in future.
